Netherlands vs Afghanistan highlights, Cricket World Cup 2023: Having already won three matches, Afghanistan’s hopes of reaching their first-ever World Cup semifinals depends only on them. Luck is out of the factor and it will only rely on their performance. They are currently up against Netherlands in ODI 34, another side who have punched above their weight. Chasing 180, the Afghans are currently two wickets down, with Rahmat Shah and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi building a partnership. Rahmanullah Gurbaz departed early, falling for 10 off 11 balls. Meanwhile, Ibrahim Zadran (20) was removed by Roelof van der Merwe in the 11th over. Rahmat has already registered a half-century and will be looking to lead his side to a win.
Initially, the Dutch were bowled out for 179 in 46.3 overs, setting a target of 180. Netherlands captain Scott Edwards won the toss and opted to bat. Mujeeb Ur Rahman struck early for the Afghans as he removed opener Wesley Barresi in the first over, for one off four balls. But Barresi’s opening partner Max O’Dowd rebuilt for Netherlands, alongwith Colin Ackermann. It looked like O’Dowd would get a half-century, but a smart move by the Afghan captain saw Mohammad Nabi come in to bowl in the 12th over. O’Dowd tried to take him on, but was dismissed by a direct hit, while attempting to take a double. He departed for 42 off 40 balls.
