England Preview & Playing XI

England lost their last match against Australia by 33 runs at Ahmedabad. It was a much better performance from England in the last match compared to their performances in the previous matches. Chris Woakes picked up four wickets and Ben Stokes, Dawid Malan scored half centuries. Expect England to go in with the same playing XI and make an impact in the last two matches.

Netherlands Preview & Playing XI

Netherlands are coming off a loss against Afghanistan in the last match by seven wickets. Batting has always been an area of concern for the Dutch and they would look to score huge on an excellent batting and pull off another major upset against England. The conditions at Pune favour fast bowlers and Netherlands might look to play an extra seamer or all rounder Vikramjit SIngh in the starting 11.

Netherlands Playing XI: Wesley Barresi, Max O’Dowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Wesley Barresi, Scott Edwards (C & WK), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren.
