Venue: Delhi
Stadium: Arun Jaitley Stadium
Time: 2:00 PM Local (8:30 AM GMT)
SL vs SA 2023 Preview
This game will be closer than it appears. Although South Africa is in red hot form at the moment, take SL lightly at your own peril. Especially with their spinners in Delhi.
Stadium: Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium
Time: 2:00 PM Local (8:30 AM GMT)
SL vs Aus 2023 Preview
Lucknow. Spin. Australian middle order. Sri Lanka’s best time to put a statement in the tournament. If they win, they will be in contention for the race to the semis. If they lose, forget about it.
Sri Lanka should win a couple but there is too much uncertainty right now. Injuries, Shanaka’s form and captaincy, etc. We would love for Lanka to go to the semis, but it is looking unlikely at the moment.

In 2019, Bangladesh could have defeated NZ in a low scoring thriller had it not been a missed run out chance by Mushfiqur Rahim. That game was in England, this is in Chennai. Expect Bangladesh’s spinners to come to the party.
If the Bangladesh game doesn’t scare the Kiwis, the Afghanistan game definitely will. If it is the usual Chennai pitch, Rashid-Mujeeb-Nabi-Noor can be a handful.
Stadium: Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium
Time: 10:30 AM Local (5 AM GMT)
NZ vs Aus 2023 Preview
Should be a cracker of a contest. This race, at the moment, is too close to call. I reckon one of these two will get into the semis, but not both. This game could well be a decider.one

NZ vs SA 2023 Preview
One of cricket’s underrated rivalries. The scars of 2015 are still fresh for the Proteas. I’m giving South Africa a slight advantage due to incoming form, but on the day, it could be anyone’s game.
With back to back games at the Chinnaswamy – it is advantage New Zealand.
Final Thoughts
The Kiwis have a couple of slippery peels early on in spin conditions. If they lose a few up front, some of the marquee games against Australia, South Africa, or Pakistan could become virtual knockouts.
Netherlands Cricket Schedule 2023 Cricket World Cup—The Complete Guide.
Netherlands surprised everyone after coming out of the 2023 World Cup qualifiers over other contenders like West Indies, Scotland, and Ireland. What’s more, they did it with a depleted squad since several Dutch players had binding County contracts.

Time: 10:30 AM Local (5 AM GMT)
Ned vs SL 2023 Preview
Although Netherlands might want to avenge the 2023 World Cup qualifier defeat to Sri Lanka but given Lucknow’s pitch and the spin trio of Hasaranga-Theekshana-Wellalage, it may be a tough outing for the Dutch.
Stadium: Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium
Time: 2:00 PM Local (8:30 AM GMT)
Ned vs Afg 2023 Preview
Bangladesh may have the support in Kolkata. Shakib is a favorite son of the city, having been with KKR for a number of years. Expect this to be a close fight.
I have to be completely honest, that is a far shot given the competitiveness of the other teams in the tournament.
However, they will be no pushovers either. Expect them to score big runs, win Super overs, and bowl quick pace. Spin is where they may struggle a bit, which is why I am having them win 2-3 games out of their 9 in my World Cp predictions.
