Australia v Netherlands match preview

Australia will look to continue their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 winning streak on Wednesday night as they take on a struggling Netherlands side.

The Aussies continued their winning ways on Friday night with a 62-run win against Pakistan. Set up by a record 259-run opening stand between David Warner (163) and Mitch Marsh (121), the Aussies set a first-innings total of 367.

In batting-friendly conditions, the total ultimately proved too much for Pakistan, who were unable to stop the constant flow of wickets. Aussie leg-spinner Adam Zampa led the way with four scalps, taking his total to nine for the tournament.

The Aussies are also set to be boosted by the return of Travis Head, who is expected to replace Marnus Labuschagne while pushing Marsh down the order.

The Netherlands suffered their third loss in four ODI World Cup games on Saturday as they fell in a close finish to Sri Lanka by five wickets. After starting the match at 6-91, a 130-run seventh-wicket partnership salvaged the Dutch innings as they were eventually bowled out for 262.

With the ball, opener Aryan Dutt bowled well to take 3-44 from his 10 overs, but the Netherlands were unable to take enough wickets as Sri Lanka chased down the total with 10 balls to spare.

With just one win so far this tournament, the Netherlands are now unlikely to progress to the knockout stages. However, they are still a chance every game for a shock upset, as they showed when beating South Africa last week.

Australia v Netherlands betting predictions

As such heavy favourites at -1666.67, there is not much value in picking the Aussies to win this match, so we look towards the runscorer markets for each side.

Although he’s had a disappointing World Cup with the bat so far, this match presents as the perfect opportunity for Steve Smith to get himself into form. At +333 with top online bookmakers, back Smith as Australia’s top runscorer.

For the Netherlands, it has been largely a team effort so far this World Cup with the bat. Looking for value, all-rounder Bas de Leede has had a quiet tournament to date but offers decent value at +500 with the best cricket betting sites.
