England vs Netherlands (Image Credit: Twitter)
In the 40th match of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, European teams, England and the Netherlands played each other in Pune. This game was one of those insignificant ones as both teams were ruled out of the semis race. They need to win this game to come close to Champions Trophy 2025 qualification. Meanwhile, in this game, the Three Lions won the toss and decided to bat first.

The defending champions had a decent start with 48 runs in seven overs. Aryan Dutt took the wicket of Jonny Bairstow (15), who has been short of runs in the tournament. At this stage, the likes of former Test skipper Joe Root and Dawid Malan put together 85 runs for the second wicket. The former got out weirdly as he tried to play a reverse scoop but pulled out.
Soon after, Malan (87) got run out as he had a confusion with the current Test skipper Ben Stokes. After this wicket, the team was reduced from 139/2 to 192/6 with white-ball skipper Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, and Harry Brook not getting many runs. At this stage, the likes of Stokes (108) and Chris Woakes (51) added 129 runs for the seventh wicket. They ended up getting 339/9.
England ends their five-match losing streak against the Netherlands
In reply, the Dutch were never in the chase given the kind of stiff target to chase. Max O'Dowd (5) was removed by Woakes in the fifth over. After this, the team lacked big partnerships apart from a 59-run partnership between skipper Scott Edwards and Teja Nidamanuru and 54 runs between Wesley Barresi and Sybrand Englebrecht.
With Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid taking three wickets each and David Willey bagging two and Woakes taking one, they bowled out their European rivals for 179, winning the match by 160 runs.

Ben stokes started making runs when it was all over
Non inclusion of Jason Roy is the another reason for their mediocre performance #ENGvsNED #EngvNED pic.twitter.com/Zk9a70MTuS

Complimentary victory for England and stokes fired a little too late but with CT qualification around it's a good sign for them. England's goal of cementing a spot in CT might spoil Pak and NZ's semis plan.#ENGvNED #CWC2023

"He soaks up the pressure unbelievably well and he's able to transfer the pressure when needed. To be able to do that so consistently over his career is a fantastic trade". - Dawid Malan on Ben Stokes#Dawidmalan #Benstokes #ENGvNED #CWC23 pic.twitter.com/rJinq7n7N0
