Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium will host England vs Netherlands match of World Cup 2023

The 40th match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 will see England go head to head against Netherlands on Wednesday, November 8, at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune.

England‘s World Cup 2023 dreams have turned into a nightmare. They have mustered just one win in seven matches, and the tournament has been a disaster for them. With two group stage games remaining, they are left playing for pride and trying to salvage something positive from this wreckage.

On the other hand, the Netherlands are on the brink of World Cup 2023 elimination, with just two wins in seven matches. While their overall performance has been lacklustre, they do have some silver linings to draw upon. Don’t count them out, as they have pulled off surprises, like they did against South Africa.
