India vs Netherlands Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023: After five weeks on non-stop cricket and 44 matches, we are finally here – the last league match of the World Cup 2023 before the much-awaited semifinals begins three days from now. The last dance. The final dress rehearsal before the big knockout. India have cruised through this edition of the World Cup as perhaps the most dominant team in the tournament\’s history en route to securing a place in the semifinal. The dust has settled. India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand are the four teams that have sailed into the semis and the fixtures are finalised for the two knockout games on November 15 and 16 respectively.
Today is a rare occasion of Team India playing an international game on Diwali. They are usually \’off\’ on the festival of lights, but such is the magnitude of the tournament. As they take on the Netherlands, there isn\’t much to prove. They are currently 8-0, looking to push it to 9-0 ahead of the semis, not because they a point to prove but to ensure the momentum achieved in these last 34 days is not affected as they approach one of the biggest games on the tournament on Wednesday. Against the eliminated Netherlands, India have a chance to test their bench strength, but with Rahul Dravid playing down the possibility of it, it\’s likely that almost 9 of the same XI step on to the field.
And rightly so. This unit has been like a family, shared a camaraderie only seen in the movies. So why not? The guys have had a 7-day break to shrug off the cobwebs on this long tournament, and there is no way better way to approach a big match feel than to get your best players ready. India are already without Hardik Pandya, and cannot afford anymore bumps along the way. Remember, just two more wins and India will become World Cup winners. Few things top it, especially when you have come so close to winning it in the last two editions.
For the Dutch, what better way to bow out of the tournament than by upsetting, surprising, shocking… whatever you like to call it, India. Their campaign has been nothing but inspirational, as they landed an unexpected result against South Africa and then Bangladesh. They have had a few brilliant individual performances with Bas de Leede\’s 14 wickets from eight games, Logan van Beek\’s 12 and Paul van Meekeren with 11. The batters haven\’t been the most prolific scorers but captain Scott Edwards is a serious threat and as is Sybrand Engelbrecht. But they won\’t have their task cut short against this rampaging Indian bowling attack which has now bowled out oppositions for 129, 55 and 83 in their last three games. Still, expected Netherlands to dig deep and fight with every last ounce of will and energy with a place in the Champions Trophy up for grabs.
India and Netherlands have twice played each other in World Cups, and surprisingly in both games, the Men in Blue have faced a few jitters. In 2003, batting first India scored just 204 and Bas de Leede\’s father Tim had led the way with 4/35. Had it not been for Javagal Srinath and Anil Kumble\’s 4 wicket hauls, India\’s run up to the final could have endured a solid blow. Eight years later, India secured a five-wicket win with Yuvraj Singh\’s all-rounder show – 2/43 and 51 not out. Will another close contest play out in Bengaluru today? Well, the Dutch better hope so
Here are a few pointers surrounding the India vs Netherlands World Cup 2023 match:
– Unbeaten India favourites to make it 9-0 heading up to the semifinals.
– India are expected to make at max a couple of tweaks in their Playing XI instead of implementing wholesome changes.
– India have a 2-0 record against the Netherlands at the World Cup.
– Virat Kohli averages a mere 25.33 from 6 ODIs in Bengaluru
– A win can help Netherlands secure their place at next year’s Champions Trophy

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Roelof van der Merwe surprised a lot of people when he said in quite a matter-of-fact manner that the Netherlands are looking to reach the semi-finals earlier in this tournament. Well, they have shown that they have the capablities to hold such belief. They thrashed South Africa and Bangladesh and for a while, it looked like they might qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy. In fact, they still can do that, if they win this game today, which would be the upset to end all upsets considering how India have pulverised every other opposition before this. The Netherlands have shown that they definitely a seat at cricket\’s high table.

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: A De Leede family affair
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: India faced the Netherlands for the first time in the 2003 World Cup 20 years ago. Among Netherlands\’ most potent weapons today would be the all-rounder Bas de Leede and back then, it was a de Leede that stood out for them. That was Bas\’s father, Tim. While India won that match by 68 runs with Javagal Srinath and Anil Kumble both taking four-wicket hauls, it was the elder de Leede who was declared player of the match for his figures of 4/35.

The next best according to both points and NRR are South Africa, who are on 14 and +1.261 respectively. The hosts have pretty much been head and shoulders above the rest in this tournament.

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Dravid on the Indian squad
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: India head coach Rahul Dravid has indicated that it is unlikely that India will make any changes for this match despite it being a dead rubber. Dravid and Rohit Sharma have been talking about “long-term” thinking a number of times while explaining selection decisions in the bilateral series leading up to this World Cup. Not this time though. “There are times for larger-picture thinking and there are times for narrow-focus thinking and in my opinion, now\’s the time for sheer narrow-focus thinking if everyone is fit,” he said.
“You\’re at a pointy end of a tournament now. So now at this stage it\’s about just focusing on getting the guys who you think are going to be playing in the 11 in the best possible space mentally and physically to be able to play that semifinal and hopefully the final if we earn it. So that will be the single point of thinking.”

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: India\’s previous ODI at the Chinnaswamy
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: It has been a while since India played an ODI here. The last time they did so, Virat Kohli was still captain and India were trying out KL Rahul as their new wicketkeeper.

Australia batted first and scored 286/9 with Steve Smith scoring 131 off 132 balls and Mohammed Shami taking four wickets. India\’s reply was led by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli before being finished off by Shreyas Iyer. Rohit scored 119 in 128 balls and Kohli scored 89 in 91; India won the match by seven wickets.

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Weather Report!
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: No need to fret about the weather tonight as Bengaluru ensures clear skies throughout the day. Over the past two weeks, the city has encountered its share of rain, even contributing to Pakistan\’s dramatic win over New Zealand through DLS method. Despite the looming threat of rain, recent matches have remained undisturbed, and today\’s game is likely to follow suit. The weather has notably improved, with a hint of winter settling in and a refreshing nip in the air. Although the IMD issued a yellow alert in the city three days ago, there are no such concerns, at least not on Diwali match day.

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Netherlands\’ silver lining
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Their campaign may have come to an end, the Netherlands have punched above their weight with wins over South Africa and Bangladesh. While the team overall may not have gotten the desired results, there have been a few individual performances that are worth singling out. With 14 and 12 wickets respectively, Bas de Leede and Logan van Beek have been their two highest wicket takers. The batters haven\’t tasted the kind of success their bowlers have but captain Scott Edwards\’ half-centuries against the Proteas and the Bangla tigers were morale-boosters. Netherland would be hoping for these three to bring out their best if they wish to slay giants India.

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Aryan Dutt\’s opportunity is finally here
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Young Aryan Dutt has played a crucial role in the Netherlands\’ World Cup campaign, picking 10 wickets from 8 matches. While he has picked a couple of big wickets including that of Jonny Bairstow and Tom Latham, the 20-year-old is eyeing the prized scalp of Virat Kohli. Going by Kohli\’s current form, any bowler would be lucky to get his wicket. He has set the World Cup ablaze by scoring over 500 runs including two centuries and two fifties.
\”All wickets are important for me, but I would love to dismiss Kohli. I consider that wicket as the best gift in this World Cup,\” Dutt, who was inspired by none other than MS Dhoni to pick up the sport, had said.

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Who\’s in, who\’s out?
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: In an ideal scenario, with this being a somewhat inconsequential tie, we might have expected the seniors to be given a rest. However, don\’t expect any significant changes in today\’s contest. While you might observe a couple of tweaks, it\’s unlikely that a complete overhaul will be executed. Considering Jasprit Bumrah\’s workload management and the fact that he has missed only one game since his return, it\’s reasonable to expect him to be rested, with Shardul Thakur likely to step in. Another potential discussion could be Ravichandran Ashwin in place of Kuldeep Yadav and Ishan Kishan replacing Virat Kohli, but not sure if the management will actually go ahead in that direction. Let us know what you think should be India\’s Playing XI for today\’s contest.

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: What to expect!
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: A clear cut answer would be: The Indian bowling juggernaut. I mean, when was the last time you saw any bowling attack wreaking havoc the way this Indian team is? Possibly never. The only other team that comes to mind would be the Australia team of the early 2000s. Heck, even they had their moments. When India\’s World Cup began, it was all about their batters as teams like Afghanistan and New Zealand posted somewhat decent totals against them, but soon this tournament has become all about their bowlers. Bowling England out for 129, Sri Lanka for 55 and the in-form South Africa for 83… it doesn\’t get more ruthless than this.

India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: How the head-to-head contests have played out
India vs Netherlands Live Score, IND vs NED World Cup 2023: Surprisingly, the only two times India and the Netherlands have crossed paths in ODIs is in World Cups. In 2003, the Netherlands bowled exceedingly well to restrict the famed Indian batting line-up to just 204, before Javagal Srinath and Anil Kumble extinguished any hopes of an upset. Eight years down the line in 2011, India made it 2-0 when Yuvraj Singh\’s 2/43 and 51 not out got them over the line successfully chasing down 190 with five wickets to spare. With Round 3 loading today, all eyes would be on the Netherlands to pull a rabbit out of the hat in a tournament with no shortage of unexpected results.

The anticipation is building up as we approach the final league game before the highly anticipated, emotionally-charged, nerve-racking and heart-pumping semifinals. But, before we get ahead of ourselves, India face one last opponent – the spirited Netherlands. They have surprised a couple of teams along the way and would want to finish their campaign on a high against the team to beat. INDIA.
