ENG vs NED ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023
England go head to head with the Netherlands in Match 40 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Wednesday. After winning the 2019 Cricket World Cup, England have had a nightmare defence of their title and have won only one of their seven matches. The Netherlands have won two of their seven games which is the most they have ever won at a Cricket World Cup. Read on as we preview this day-night fixture. The ODI gets underway in Pune at 14:00 local time.
England gave their supporters some encouragement with a good bowling performance and an improved batting display against Australia. However, there is a real lack of confidence in the batting line-up which makes this clash with the Netherlands far from a guaranteed England victory.
With victories over South Africa and Bangladesh already in the tournament, the Netherlands will come into this clash against England with genuine belief that they can record their third victory of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. If they can produce with the bat then they will have an excellent chance.

ENG vs NED Match Toss Prediction
Although South Africa won by a massive 190 runs when batting first at this venue last Wednesday, the previous two games in this tournament in Pune were won by the team fielding first. With humidity increasing across the game, we predict that both teams will want to field first in this game.
ENG vs NED Pitch Report
There are runs on offer at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium although batters will have to work hard for them on this pitch. A par score will be in the region of 300-310 with pace bowlers likely to make the most of the surface.
In the last match here, spinner Keshav Maharaj got some help from the pitch in the 2nd innings and picked 4 wickets. We can expect the pitch to turn again in the 2nd innings.
Pune Weather Report
Although there will be some short sunny periods, there will be plenty of cloud cover across this match in Pune. The temperature is forecast to drop from 32 degrees to 26 degrees from start to finish.

England Team News
In spite of losing their previous four matches, Jos Buttler announced another unchanged XI ahead of the defeat against Australia which confirmed England’s elimination from the tournament. However, with a top eight finish required to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy, we do not expect England to rest any players in this match.
England Key Players
- Dawid Malan - The experienced left-hander hit another half-century against Australia on Saturday and is England’s leading run scorer in the tournament.
- Ben Stokes - If there were no Champions Trophy place to fight for, we would expect Ben Stokes to be back home preparing for a knee operation. However, even not at full fitness, he still top scored for England last Saturday.

- Chris Woakes - The bowling all-rounder dismissed both of Australia’s openers in the last game before coming back to take the wickets of Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc in the final over of the innings.
- Adil Rashid - The leg-spinner showed his flexibility in the last match by slowing his pace down and causing top batters to make mistakes. He has now taken 4 wickets from the last two games.
- David Willey - Willey has picked 6 wickets in 4 matches so far at an impressive economy of 5.41. He has also scored a few handy runs as well. We are backing him to pick more wickets on this pitch which favours the pacers.

Scott Edwards announced two changes for the Netherlands ahead of their defeat to Afghanistan on Friday. Out went opener Vikramjit Singh and spinner Shariz Ahmad with the experienced Roelof van der Merwe and Saqib Zulfiqar coming back in.

- Scott Edwards - The captain has had a strong competition with the bat and has the highest number of wicket-keeper dismissals across the Cricket World Cup 2023.

- Logan van Beek - The right-arm fast medium bowler got the big wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the last game and has hit valuable lower order runs in this tournament.
- Aryan Dutt - The tall right-arm spinner sits in second place on the list of maiden overs bowled in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. He bowls throughout the innings and has caused problems to some of the best batters in the world.
- Bas de Leede - Bas de Leede has scored 117 runs and picked 11 wickets so far. His performance has been impressive and we are backing him to perform well on this track which will help the pacers. He is expected to make an impact with his batting skills as well.

Although the Netherlands have defeated England twice in T20Is this century, in ODIs England have a 100% record. The teams met in a three-match series last year with England coming out 3-0 winners.

England vs Netherlands Betting Odds
In spite of being bottom of the table with only one victory so far in the tournament, the bookies have England as heavy favourites to win at 1.09. The Netherlands are the outsiders at 6.50.
Who will win England vs Netherlands ODI Match?
England’s results in this competition have shown that previous performances, particularly with the bat, count for nothing. The Netherlands will fancy their chances but player for player, England look to have the stronger side.
🏆 England vs Netherlands Prediction
After three convincing wins in the Netherlands for England when these sides met last year, very few pundits would have expected this game to provide any potential problems for the 2019 Cricket World Cup champions only a few weeks ago. However, this England team are nowhere near the confident ODI side we have been used to over the last eight years and the Netherlands are likely to arrive in Pune as the team with the most self-belief. We are expecting a match where England will not dominate throughout with either bat or ball, but our prediction is for England to win.
