Five-time champions Australia will be up against the Netherlands in Match 24 of the 2023 ODI World Cup on Wednesday, October 25. The two will face off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from 2 pm (IST) onwards. Australia lost their first two matches but bounced back against Sri Lanka and Pakistan to be in the top four on the points table.
Pat Cummins and Co. will be keen to complete a hat-trick of wins but they won't be taking the Netherlands lightly. The Orange Army managed just one win from four matches, but that win was against South Africa. It was the first upset of the tournament and the only defeat for the dominant Proteas. Scott Edwards's side lost their other three games against Pakistan, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka.
