After getting thrashed by Australia, England are now gearing up to clash against the Netherlands in their next game of this ICC ODI World Cup. Having endured six defeats in seven matches, England are in no contention to qualify for the semi-finals. But they will give their best in the remaining fixtures to end their trip to India on a positive note. The match between England and the Netherlands will be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on November 8.
England, who entered this World Cup as the reigning champions, have managed to secure a single win by far which came against Bangladesh in the second appearance. Since then, the English brigade has struggled to show its iconic form. Jos Buttler and Co. now find themselves at the bottom of the points table.
This has certainly been an unforgettable World Cup for the Netherlands, who have upset teams like South Africa and Bangladesh so far during the campaign. In their last game, the Dutch side was up against Afghanistan and ended up suffering a 7-wicket defeat. Batting first, the Netherlands managed to post only 179 runs on the board. Afghanistan didn’t face much trouble during the chase and reached the target in 31.3 overs. The Netherlands will look to bounce back against England, who lost their last game to Australia by 33 runs.

England vs Netherlands Pitch Report:
The wicket at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium is expected to become more batting-friendly in the second innings. So the team batting second will have more chance of winning the ODI World Cup clash between England and the Netherlands. The swing bowlers are expected to get some early assistance during the first ten overs. Spinners will need to battle hard for each wicket in Pune. However, they can be used during the middle overs to restrict the flow of runs.

The weather in Pune is expected to remain partly cloudy on November 8. But there is no chance of rain causing interference during the ODI World Cup match between England and the Netherlands. The temperature could hover around 22 degrees Celsius to 33 degrees Celsius, while the humidity is anticipated to be around 58-76 percent.
