Sri Lanka and Netherlands will be face to face in the final match
Sri Lanka will take on the Netherlands in the final match of the ICC World Cup 2023 qualifiers. This match will be played on July 9 at Harare Sports Club from 12:30 pm Indian time. Sri Lanka are undefeated in the tournament, while the Netherlands have lost two matches, one to hosts Zimbabwe and the other to Sri Lanka. Both the teams have already qualified for the ODI World Cup 2023 to be held in India and will fight for the title. In such a situation, a good match can be seen between both the teams. Let us know how the pitch of Harare Sports Club is going to be.
Harare Sports Club matches are generally in favor of the batsmen, although there is some support for the bowlers during the match. Fast bowlers are expected to get good bounce from the surface with the new ball and bowlers can also get swing from the new ball at the beginning of the match. The pitch can get a bit slow with the match and the batsmen can get upset due to slow bowling. Spinners will play an important role on this pitch. The captain can decide to bowl first after winning the toss here.
