ENGLAND
England has had a poor World Cup, currently sitting in last place with only two points after winning just one of the seven games played so far.
In their most recent game against Australia, England won the toss and chose to bowl first. They had a decent start, taking two wickets in the first ten overs. However, they allowed the Australian batsmen to pick up the pace and put a solid total on the board. England eventually bowled out the Australians in the last over for 286 runs, with Chris Woakes being the top wicket-taker with four wickets.
Despite losing a wicket on the first ball, England managed to recover and put some decent partnerships together. Both Malan and Stokes secured their half-centuries, while Ali missed his by just eight runs. However, this effort was not enough for the English side as they were bowled out in the 48th over for 253 runs adding further to their World Cup misery.

NETHERLANDS
In the seven games the Netherlands have played so far, they have only managed to win two of them, placing them one position above England in ninth with four points.
In their most recent game against Afghanistan, they won the toss and chose to bat first. They lost regular wickets from the start and Engelbrecht was the only player to score a half-century, with O’Dowd being the second-highest scorer with 42 runs. T they were bowled out for 179 runs in the 47th over.
Their bowlers were always on the back foot and managed to take only three wickets, with no player taking more than one wicket. d Afghanistan comfortably chased down the runs in the 32nd over keeping them very much in playoff contention.

England 1/9
Netherlands 13/2
HEAD-TO-HEAD
The last time these two teams faced each other was in a three-game series in the Netherlands in 2022, during which England secured the series with three comfortable wins.
Suggested Bet: England to be under 35.5 at the first dismissal at 17/20
In their past four games, England has consistently lost a wicket before reaching the 35.5 run mark. The opening batsman lack confidence and I am backing the Netherlands attack to strike early.
Suggested Bet: Ben Stokes to score more than 29.5 runs at 17/20
Stokes looked good against Australia and with his International career almost done I am expecting some strong performances before the flight home.
