NED vs AFG ODI Head To Head Stats and Record: Desperate to stay in semifinal contention, Netherlands and Afghanistan clash in match 34 of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Friday (November 3).
Netherlands led by Scott Edwards head into the match on the back of an upset win over Bangladesh, while Hashmatullah Shahidi’s Afghanistan are fresh from a stunning victory over former champions Sri Lanka.

The Dutch had lost to Pakistan and New Zealand in Hyderabad before they upset South Africa at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. Netherlands later lost to Sri Lanka and Australia before pulling off another win against Bangladesh.
