Lucknow is all set to host the Netherlands vs Afghanistan match on November 3. The match starts from 2 pm and is a must-win game for both teams. A loss for either teams in Lucknow will make their progress difficult in the tournament.
The venue has been an out-and-out spin-friendly wicket so far in the tournament. Teams chasing have found it easier to win games at this venue having the advantage of knowing the exact target. Dew also has played a major role here and not allowed the bowlers in the second innings to get as much spin as bowling in the first innings.
Afghanistan with their three top-quality spinners have an advantage in the contest. It is their batters who need to keep their form going and bat with common sense like they have in the last two games that they have won. The onus is again on the openers to give them a good start and then for the middle-order to continue the good work.
Netherlands have their work cut out against Afghanistan. They have lost all the momentum they had got from the win over South Africa. They managed to beat Bangladesh in their previous match but their real test awaits against Afghanistan, England and India in their remaining last three games. A loss for the Dutch in this game might well end their hopes of a win.
Afghanistan play Netherlands, Australia and South Africa in their last three games and hence a win against the Netherlands is crucial for them to stay in the contest. They can surely take the momentum having won against the Dutch in their final two games against tough oppositions.
