Netherlands vs Afghanistan: Prediction for CWC 2023 match
Although there were not many expectations from both these teams, it has been a pleasant surprise to see them performing the way they have in this World Cup.
The match is in Lucknow. We have seen spinners doing well there. Afghanistan could take advantage of this as they probably have the best spin attack among all the teams, and due to this, they have better chances of claiming a victory over the Oranje Army.
