England have never won a major one-day tournament and, despite pioneering cricket’s shortest format at county level, are not among the favourites to win the World cup 2009
England have faced Netherlands in two previous ICC tournaments and have won both the matches quite easily.
Pitch and conditions
The weather, which was so ideal for playing cricket all week , is set to give way to light showers, which will test the teams under the new Lord’s floodlights.
The Lords pitch has been slow in the recent encounters, but expect another decent batting surface.

Quotes
"It is a big commitment but we love the game, we don’t make a living out of it. Maybe if we do well in these kind of tournaments we will." Jeroen Smits admits that the life of the Dutch international cricketer is not all glamour.
"We believe we can win it. I’m not saying we will win it because I don’t want to put pressure on the boys by saying we’ll win it." Paul Collingwood doesn’t quite hedge his bets.
