Netherlands vs Afghanistan World Cup 2023 LIVE Score and Updates, Match 34 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow

Netherlands vs Afghanistan World Cup 2023 LIVE Score: The Netherlands won the toss and opted to bat first against Afghanistan at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Friday. The Dutch side has made two changes with Saqib Zulfiqar and Roelof van der Merwe coming in. One change for Afghanistan as Noor Ahmad replaced Naveen Ul Haq.

Both the Netherlands and Afghanistan are still alive in the semi-final race. Afghanistan have so far managed three wins from six matches while the Netherlands have secured two wins in the same number of games. A victory today will be extra crucial as it will give either team more firepower in the race for the last four stage.

Even if they fail to qualify for the semi-finals, the top seven teams at the World Cup will automatically qualify for the 2023 Champions Trophy which is something both teams will also be targeting.
