India vs Netherlands
T20 World Cup Super 12 Group 2 Prediction & Tips
Time: 27 Oct, 12:30 PM (IST)
Series: T20 World Cup Super 12 Group 2
Venue: Sydney Cricket Ground – Sydney, Australia
Info:
Virat Kohli was at his best on Sunday when he hit 82 not out from 53 balls to win the match against Pakistan. The former skipper is well worth backing as India’s highest run scorer in this game. With the ball, Arshdeep Singh took 3-32 against Pakistan and he is our tip for India’s top wicket taker against Netherlands.
Max O’Dowd scored only eight runs against Bangladesh but the opener is our pick for Netherlands’ highest run scorer against India. Spinner Paul van Meekeren has taken two wickets in both of his last two matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. He is a strong choice for Netherlands’ top wicket taker in this fixture.
We suggest backing opener KL Rahul to hit over 3.5 fours in this match.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
The forecast is for rain earlier in the day in Sydney but it is supposed to be dry with clear skies throughout the evening.
🏟️ Pitch:
Although there are talented spinners in the squads of both teams, this pitch will provide more assistance to the pace bowlers. We expect a par score to be at least 175.
Toss Prediction:
Both teams won the toss in their opening Super 12 stage matches and decided to field first. We predict that the skippers will both want to field first ahead of this game also.

Winning Chances:
Irrespective of the team which India select, we expect they will be far too good for Netherlands in this match. Netherlands put in a strong performance against Bangladesh but will need to go up four or five more levels to cause India any problems. We are predicting a comfortable victory for India.
India are favourites to beat Netherlands at odds.
