After a series of enthralling encounters, the ICC ODI World Cup Qualifiers 2023 is reaching its climax as Sri Lanka prepare to take on the Netherlands in the highly anticipated summit clash on July 9 at the prestigious Harare Sports Club. The stakes are high as both teams have already secured their berths in the upcoming Cricket World Cup 2023, slated to be held in India during October-November.

In their previous matches, Sri Lanka faced off against the West Indies, while the Netherlands locked horns with Scotland. Sri Lanka showcased their mettle against the Caribbeans, emerging victorious by a convincing margin of 8 wickets. On the other hand, the Netherlands faced a formidable challenge against Scotland. The Men in Orange exhibited their skills and determination, emerging triumphant by 4 wickets.

Pitch report:

The pitch at Harare Sports Club usually assists the batters early on, with true bounce and even carry. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to wear down and assist the spinners, making it challenging for the batters to score freely. Considering the nature of the pitch and the massive final game, team winning the toss should prefer to bat first and set a challenging total on the board.
