A temperature of around 31°C, with no threat of rain, is forecast.
Netherlands: Vikramjit Singh, Max O’Dowd, Wesley Barresi, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Bas de Leede, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Logan van Beek, Shariz Ahmad, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren.
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Azmatullah Omarzai, Ikram Alikhil (wk), Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
Bas de Leede: Bas de Leede will contribute with both bat and ball. Bas hasn’t done anything significant this World Cup, but he will look to step up in this crucial match. Expect him to have a good outing.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been in nice touch throughout this season. He will enjoy batting in Lucknow and can score big.
Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan will always be a good captaincy option. He can wreak havoc against the Netherlands batters, who are not as equipped to face quality spinners like Rashid. His variations might be too good to handle.
Sybrand Engelbrecht: Sybrand Engelbrecht has been picked up by less than 27% of users as of now, making him a good differential pick. Engelbrecht has looked in fine touch and can again chip in with useful runs in the middle order.
Naveen-ul-Haq: Naveen-ul-Haq has been selected by less than 22% of people as of now. Naveen can trouble the Netherlands batters, especially under the lights. He has got plenty of variations to operate with.
Vikramjit Singh: Vikramjit Singh hasn’t done anything significant so far and can be avoided for this game.
If NED bat first:
Complete the team with Wesley Barresi, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Paul van Meekeren.
If AFG bat first:
Complete the team with Sybrand Engelbrecht, Colin Ackermann and Naveen-ul-Haq.

It will be a tense competition, with both teams going hard at each other. However, Afghanistan look like a better unit and might win the game.
