England vs Netherlands Dream11 Prediction Today's Match 40 ODI World Cup 2023

Defending champions England (ENG) will face the Netherlands (NED) in the 40th match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the MCA Stadium in Pune. Both the teams, England and Netherlands are languishing at the bottom of the points table. The Netherlands has won 2 of their 7 matches in the World Cup so far and has a minuscule chance of making it to the semi-finals.

On the other hand, to the surprise of all, England who were among the hot picks before the start of the tournament to win the Cup are now out of the tournament. But given the Champions Trophy 2025 qualifications on the line both the teams still have a lot to play for in the World Cup.
