England look to salvage something from disappointing Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign
With just one win from their opening seven matches, England are already out of contention for the semi-finals and won't be able to defend the World Cup crown they won in sensational style on home soil four years ago.
But they do still have the lure of trying to win their final two matches in India to ensure they qualify for the ICC Champions Trophy that is scheduled to be held in Pakistan in 2025.
The Netherlands, however, do still have an outside chance of finishing in the top four and will need to win their last two games of the World Cup and have other results go their way to have any chance of sneaking into the semi-finals.
But a spot in the ICC Champions Trophy is surely also a prime motivation for the Dutch and a win over England here will put them one step closer to achieving this.
