Final Thoughts

Can Netherlands win the 2023 Cricket World Cup?

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.

What do you think> Can they at least get to the semi-finals? Comment below.

Final Thoughts

We have all heard the phrase, “Pace is pace.”

Pure pace can wreak havoc for the opposition teams while providing moments of beauty for the audience.

Pakistan cricket has been a blessing to the cricketing world due to the fast bowlers talent they produce. It was Sarfraz Nawaz & Imran Khan early on, Fazal Mohammad & Khan Mohammad even earlier. The trio of Wasim Akram-Waqar Younis-Shoaib Akhtar took the legend of Pakistani fast bowling to new heights.

Each generation since, Pakistan continues to find raw talent like Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah today, and I hope they continue to produce such gems for years to come.
