India will aim to make it 4 wins in a row when they take the field at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Men in Blue were at their best against Pakistan, qualifying for the Super 8 stages of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The clash against Netherlands becomes a dead rubber, allowing Suryakumar Yadav and Co to experiment. All eyes will be on Abhishek Sharma who is yet to score a run in the tournament. Struggling with an illness, he played two games, getting out on zero in both games. Sharma came into the tournament as the World No.1 batter and a game against Netherlands gives him the opportunity to get some much needed confidence.
After picking Kuldeep Yadav over Arshdeep Singh as the extra spin option in Colombo, the team management is expected to go back to the two specialist pacers combination. If Bumrah is rested, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep are expected to start. The two likely spinners will be Varun Chakaravarthy and Axar Patel.The Netherlands would need drastic improvement in their batting and bowling to compete with the defending champions. They lost heavily to USA in their previous game after a convincing win over Namibia.
