For England, it is more about qualifying for the Champions Trophy 2025. To achieve this, they would have to win their remaining two games.
The Netherlands are also looking at the Champions Trophy spot. If they win both their upcoming matches versus England and India, they will seal that. A single victory could also guarantee them a place in the Champions Trophy 2025 but in this scenario, they would have to ensure that two of England, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka lose a match.

England vs Netherlands: Prediction for CWC 2023 match
Both these teams have had similar campaigns. But one has punched above its weight, while the other has under-performed. The Netherlands have beaten the likes of South Africa and Bangladesh. On the other hand, the defending champions are on a five-match losing streak.
That being said, Jos Buttler and Co. are a better side and should ideally outclass the Netherlands on a batting friendly track in Pune.
