Just when it looked like Australia would struggle in this World Cup, they have made a strong comeback. The five-time world champions had lost their first two games and were languishing at the very bottom of the points table just a few days ago. However, two comprehensive wins, the last of which came against Pakistan, have taken them to fourth place on the table. Australia are suddenly looking strong and dangerous, and with Travis Head all set to return to the team, they might become unstoppable. Australia will next take on Netherlands in Delhi on Wednesday. While the Dutch have shown plenty of spirit, Australia will start as outright favorites for this clash.

Australia are coming off a dominating 62-run win against Pakistan in Bengaluru, which was centered around a kind-boggling 259-run opening stand between Mitchell Marsh (120 off 108 balls) and David Warner (163 off 124 balls).
Australia’s batting was struggling in the earlier part of their campaign, but the performance by the openers in their last game will give them a lot of confidence. Having said that, their middle-order is still struggling. The likes of Steven Smith, Marcus Stoinis, and Glenn Maxwell haven’t gotten going and would love to get some handy runs in this game.
Josh Inglis performed well against Sri Lanka, but needs to be a lot more consistent. If Travis Head comes in, he will likely replace Marnus Labuschagne in the squad. Head will open, and Marsh can then move to the No.3 slot. This will provide the Australian middle-order a lot more stability.
Australia will also be delighted that Adam Zampa is back in form. The leg-spinner has taken two back-to-back four wicket hauls and finally seems to have got his rhythm right. He will be more than useful against the Dutch batters, who tend to struggle against quality spin.
Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins make for an impressive fats bowling trio. They are bowling well in tandem and won’t make things easy for Netherlands’s batters.

Netherlands have shown that they aren’t just here to fill up the numbers. They beat heavyweights South Africa last week and have shown a spirited fight in almost all their other games. In their last game against Sri Lanka at Lucknow, they were reeling at 91-6 at one stage, but went on to post 262 on the board courtesy of impressive fifties from Sybrand Engelbrecht (70 off 82 balls) and Logan van Beek (59 off 75 balls).
Colin Ackermann has been their highest run-getter in the tournament, with 127 runs in 4 innings at an average of 31. Then there is Scott Edwards, whose unbeaten 78 against South Africa helped the team win that match.
Fast bowling all-rounder Bas de Leede has had a quiet World Cup so far, but he has been one of Netherlands’ most prolific batters in recent times. We expect a substantial contribution from him in this game. De Leede, however, hasn’t disappointed with the ball. He is currently at the top of the team’s bowling charts with 7 wickets in 4 innings at an average of 27.28.
Aryan Dutt and Paul van Meekeren, with 6 wickets each, have also been pretty consistent. Left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe will have an important role to play in this match. He is an experienced spinner, and his ten overs can help keep Australia’s batters quiet.

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is a great one for batting but also offers plenty of help to spinners. In the second half, particularly, the ball tends to stop and grip the surface, making it tougher to hit through the line. However, if dew sets in, then batting will become a lot easier in the second half. The ball will also move around under lights, so we might see a few wickets fall in the powerplay overs. Negating the seam bowlers under lights will be key here. Once batsmen are through that phase, they can keep milking runs if the target isn’t huge.
The weather in Delhi will be hot and humid.
The average first inning score in the Arun Jaitley Stadium is 240. South Africa’s 428-5 versus Sri Lanka in this World Cup is the highest total posted here. The average runs per over at the venue is 5.05. The team batting first in this game will loom to set a score of around 280 runs at least. If Australia bats first, we might see another 300-plus total posted here.
Three matches have been played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi; two have been won by the team batting first and on by the chasing side. Batting first here generally is the safer bet.
There have been just two ODIs played between Australia and Netherlands; both have been won by Australia. The last time these two sides met was way back in the 2007 World Cup. It’s almost certain that Australia will maintain their spotless ODI record against the Dutch. Yes, Netherlands have shown irable spirit in the tournament. However, the gulf in quality between these two sides is just too vast. Also, Australia have just tasted blood and will not let go of their momentum. We expect them to come hard at Netherlands and brush them aside. They will be looking for a big win here to boost their NRR.
Australia are favorites to win this clash.
