Australia will square off against the Netherlands at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi in the 24th match of the ongoing World Cup 2023 on Wednesday. The Delhi track has proved to be a run-fest in the ongoing ODI showpiece and the same is expected if Australia bat first.
The five-time champions have won two and lost as many in the tournament whereas the Netherlands have won a solitary contest out of the four games they have played. We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

David Warner was the star of the show as he smashed 163 runs whereas Mitchell Marsh scored 121 runs. Furthermore, Adam Zampa continued to impress as he scalped another four-wicket haul.
