Prediction Based on Performance

It’s likely that the match between Pakistan and Netherlands will be an exciting one. The recent form suggests that both teams are in good shape and it could go either way. However, based on their recent performances, Pakistan appears to have a slight edge over Netherlands and is expected to win the 2nd match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

Pakistan has a strong batting line up, with the likes of Babar Azam leading from the front. They also have a good bowling attack with Shaheen Afridi likely to be their most successful bowler in this match.
