Dravid, the head coach, hinted at an unchanged XI for this dead rubber, reflecting the team’s approach of reaching the semis with the winning momentum. Although, given how the Netherlands has performed in this World Cup, upsetting South Africa in Dharamsala earlier, the Men in Blue will not discount their opponents.
Rohit and Kohli will hog all the limelight, while the onus will again fall on the bowlers, who have taken this tournament by storm, mainly Mohammed Shami.
Dutch eye unlikeliest World Cup upset
There have been a few upsets in World Cup 2023, but none could match the degree of this if the Netherlands beat the hot-favourites India in their den.
The Netherlands have been the side to beat in most matches, having come close to defeating some of the top teams earlier. Though India will walk into this contest as favourites, the Dutch side would be upbeat to bring their A-game to the table in the last league match of the tournament.
For the fans watching, expect a tight contest.
Result prediction –
The Men in Blue, the high-flying Indian Team, looks set to enter the knockouts with an unbeaten run.
Here are the predicted XIs of both teams –
India - Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj
Netherlands - Wesley Barresi, Max O'Dowd, Colin Ackermann, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Scott Edwards (c&wk), Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Logan van Beek, Roelof van der Merve, Aryan Dutt and Paul van Meekeren
