England vs Netherlands Highlights, World Cup 2023: ENG boosted by 160-run win over NED in race for Champions Trophy spot

England vs Netherlands Live Score, ENG vs NED World Cup 2023: Paul van Meekeren stumped by miles and miles and that is that. England have beaten the Netherlands by 160 runs. They have got the points and they have got the victory margin they needed to get up to seventh spot. Some reason for them to smile in what has been a difficult tournament for them. Three wickets each for spinners Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid, they took the middle order wickets and then wiped off the tail. How England would be wishing that most matches went this way with the spinners getting the wickets and Ben Stokes leading a rear-guard comeback with a century.
