The excellent Netherlands team demonstrated their class earlier in the tournament when they shocked South Africa, and their triumph over Bangladesh was equally stunning.
To defeat India, they will need all of their star players to be at their best, with the performances of Bas de Leede, Max O’Dowd, Logan van Beek, and skipper Scott Edwards crucial.
Speaking at the time of toss, Rohit said, “We are gonna have a bat. No particular reason. Whether we have batted first or bowled first, we have done extremely well. Another opportunity to play well today and tick all the boxes. Extremely happy with how we have played in this tournament. Hats off to the guys who have stood up at different times and taken responsibility. Same team.”

Netherlands captain Scott Edwards said, “We would have batted as well. Looks like a pretty good wicket, but good ground for chasing. We have been pretty good overall. We’ve had two good wins, and today we want to put in a good performance. This is the biggest crowd we’ve had in the tournament. We will have to be at our best today. World Cup in India is as big as it gets. We could have played better, but it’s been great. Same side for us.”
