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.

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.
