The 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup will be the 13th edition of the Cricket World Cup, a quadrennial One Day International cricket tournament contested by men’s national teams and organized by the International Cricket Council. It is scheduled to be hosted by India from 5 October to 19 November 2023.
Brace yourself for a scintillating contest as Pakistan (PAK) gears up to battle the Netherlands (NED) on the lush green of Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, in the Cricket World Cup 2023’s ODI segment. Historically, Pakistan has had the edge, narrowly edging out the Netherlands in their recent ODI match by a tight margin of just nine runs.
Pakistan just clashed with the Aussies in a thrilling pre-tournament face-off, where Australia set a massive score of 351 runs. Although Pakistan displayed a valiant effort, they missed the mark by just 14 runs. Babar Azam was the star player, smashing 90 runs, while Iftikhar Ahmed played a pivotal innings of 83 runs.
Conversely, the Dutch squad had their face-off against Australia cut short due to rain. Despite the weather’s interference, Australia managed to put 166 runs on the board in 23 overs. The Netherlands’ bowling unit was led by the dynamic trio of Roelof van der Merwe, Bas de Leede, and Logan van Beek, each snagging two wickets.
