Netherlands wary of taking on 'wounded buffalo' England

Any other day, England would be the favourites going into a cricket match against the Netherlands, but not in this World Cup. The Dutch are languishing at ninth place in the points table of the 10-team competition. But then, the defending champions are occupying the lone spot below them. Yet, Ryan van Niekerk, the assistant coach of the Dutch team said they expect Jos Buttler’s side to be as tough as a “wounded buffalo” when the two sides clash at the MCA stadium here on Wednesday.
