India will face Netherlands in their final World Cup match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium and their heavyweights such as Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul are poised to deliver big runs for India.
As the India national cricket team faces off against the Netherlands national cricket team, the Netherlands will rely heavily on players like Bas de Leede and Logan van Beek. With hopes of securing a spot in the semifinals, they aim to climb the standings by beating India.
India vs Netherlands
The Oranje Army have managed to produce some surprising upsets so far in this tournament, but when they take on India they’ll face one of the best teams around in Rohit Sharma and co. India are clear favorites given that Bengaluru provides an ideal environment for batting on these pitches; and with their incredible start they should easily dispatch their opponents.
Both teams have met twice previously in one-day international cricket, with India emerging victorious on both occasions. The first was during the 2003 ODI World Cup when India bowled out their Dutch opponents for just 204 runs in their innings; in contrast, Oranje Army nearly pulled off an upset win before Sachin Tendular’s 73-ball fifty sealed victory by just 68 runs.
India are currently favourites in this match-up with bookies offering odds of 1/9 for victory over their competition. India have been playing some incredible cricket lately and it comes as no surprise they’re dominating competition.
Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul both played excellently with the bat for India, scoring centuries to help achieve an impressive total of 411. Netherlands attempted a chase that proved fruitful; however, their required run rate wasn’t met, leading them to lose wickets frequently as their efforts came up short.
Mohammed Siraj provided India with their initial breakthrough by scalping Wesley Barresi. Colin Ackermann and Max O’Dowd offered resistance but were eventually dispatched by Ravindra Jadeja; together these two also dismissed Scott Edwards and Bas de Leede from contention.
Rohit Sharma will look to end the league stage unbeaten and treat this match against the Dutch as a practice match before their semi-final showdown with New Zealand on Wednesday. They would also aim for victory to secure 2025 Champions Trophy qualification through this contest.
Team India
India has shown strong batting performance throughout this tournament so far. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have set off each innings with explosive starts while Virat Kohli’s mid-over batting has helped India post competitive totals. Additionally, Indian bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami have excelled with the ball.
Team India boasts an enviable combination of talent, making them one of the world’s premier ODI teams. Furthermore, their success can also be attributed to being one of India’s most beloved sports with a passionate fanbase rivaling even that of football.
M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the ODI between India and Netherlands. With seating capacity of over 40,000 spectators, this stadium has played host to some of India’s most memorable matches and considered one of the more batsman-friendly pitches nationwide – fast outfield turf and shorter boundary fences facilitate batsmen scoring runs more easily while offering spinners some assistance as the match goes along.
India entered this tournament as overwhelming favorites to win both this match and the entire ODI World Cup, yet has yet to face a serious challenger. India easily breezed through league stage play without suffering a defeat and is poised to advance to semi-finals for the first time ever in their history – New Zealand being their sole potential competitor who may cause an upset on home ground.
Last time India and Australia met in an ODI at Sydney Cricket Ground, India came out victorious by an overwhelming 161 run margin. Both sides are expected to field unchanged squads this time around.
Team Netherlands
The Netherlands are currently ranked ninth in ODI rankings and must win their final group game against India to remain in contention for a semi-final spot. Although they’ve had trouble in recent matches, The Netherlands have shown plenty of promise this tournament and should not be underestimated; their star batsmen have put in consistent performances that may prove key in helping advance to the next stage.
Rohit Sharma leads his side, which includes both experienced and inexperienced players. With an aggressive batting line-up backed up by experienced bowling units such as Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer as top batsmen – as well as young middle order players providing timely hits – the squad boasts an imposing performance at international tournaments around the globe.
Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul lead India’s bowling attack. Both bowlers possess the potential to pick up wickets against Netherlands; together they have combined for six one-day international five-wicket hauls which could prove invaluable in today’s match at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
India won the toss and began their innings by dominating the first powerplay against Dutch bowlers who struggled for wickets. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul both hit hundreds to give their side an early edge as momentum built throughout their innings – they shared an unbeaten 208 run partnership for fourth wicket ODI World Cup history!
Indian bowlers managed to restrict Netherlands batting effectively and ensured they didn’t score too many runs. Ultimately, Netherlands were dismissed for 242 runs after 50 overs were played out with Teja Nidamanuru scoring 54 not out, followed by Sybrand Engelbrecht (45 runs) and Colin Ackermann (35).
With India’s win against Netherlands, they secured first place in their group and a spot in the semi-finals. Now, India will play New Zealand in their first semifinal match on November 15 at Wankhede Stadium; live streaming of this match will be provided by Hotstar.
Match Prediction
On November 12 in Bengaluru, India and Netherlands will face each other in an epic 2023 World Cup clash. India are heavy favorites but can be upsett. Both teams are performing extremely well right now with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer among their batsmen as well as Mohammed Siraj Kuldeep Yadav Ravindra Jadeja Mohammad Shami all featuring on India’s bowling lineups respectively.
The Proteas have made an impressive start to this tournament, winning their opening match against Sri Lanka before stunning five-time champion Australia in their next match. Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram have shown their full potential this year; whilst Dutch will look to rebound after suffering their first loss against South Africa.
An Indian win will be crucial in reaching the semi-finals, but Dutch have never prevailed against them before in any World Cup match – but don’t be fooled into thinking otherwise as there’s plenty of talent and preparation among their ranks ready to face Proteas in Cape Town.
India’s win against the Netherlands at this year’s ICC World Cup was one of the biggest surprises of this tournament, marking the first time ever that they defeated a top-ranked team in an ODI matchup. Their performance shows just how far along they have come as a team.
M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the heart of Bangalore will serve as the venue for India and Netherlands’ match, featuring its iconic design inspired by Taj Mahal architecture – expected to draw huge spectator crowds. This popular sporting facility can hold up to 75,000 spectators, making it one of the country’s largest stadiums.
