India and Netherlands will meet for the first time ever in one-day internationals – India having won both encounters by an innings margin. They first met twice at World Cups – 2003 and 2011. India prevailed both times by an impressive margin of 68 runs each time.
Dutch have managed to remain competitive in this tournament despite an uneven run of form. Their final match could provide them with an opportunity to end strongly by defeating India.
Netherlands are no strangers to one-day internationals and boast an experienced squad that includes Wesley Barresi, Max O’Dowd, Colin Ackermann Sybrand Engelbrecht and Teja Nidamanuru all capable of producing impressive performances for them.
India’s batsmen have also excelled at this competition so far, especially KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer who both scored over fifty runs in three of the four matches played to date and helped reach an impressive total score. Dutch bowlers, on the other hand, have struggled mightily against these Indian batsmen and failed to contain their run scoring ability.

Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first at Chinnaswamy Stadium. While its pitch tends to be slow with variable bounce characteristics, Rohit believes his batsmen will be able to adapt accordingly and perform optimally under these conditions.
This match will be critical for both teams; its winner will advance to the semi-finals while its loser will exit from competition. While the Indians may be favoured to emerge victorious, Dutch opponents won’t make things easy for them – their top order batsmen should prove particularly formidable against Indian bowling attacks and could cause the scores to skyrocket!

Jasprit Bumrah returned after the drinks break to bowl. In his initial powerplay over, Wesley Barresi and Colin Ackermann were dismissed, yet the Dutch batsmen didn’t let this derail their game and managed to score a respectable total score.
Siraj took an important wicket against the Dutch, taking Sybrand Engelbrecht in the fourth over. At that point, their required run rate had started skyrocketing rapidly and it appeared that they may soon succumb. Siraj then took another key wicket against Sybrand Engelbrecht as it appeared as though their opponents may beat them soon enough.
