India vs Netherlands, T20 World Cup 2022 Preview: Likely Playing XIs, H2H Records, Key Battles and More You Need To Know About IND vs NED Cricket Match in Sydney
India would aim to maintain their winning momentum when they face the Netherlands in a Group 2 encounter at the T20 World Cup 2022. Netherlands are coming into this clash on the back of a defeat to Bangladesh while India beat Pakistan in a memorable showdown at the MCG last Sunday.
After a thrilling victory over Pakistan, Team India would be roaring with confidence as they take on the Netherlands in their second fixture at the T20 World Cup 2022. Virat Kohli was India's star of the show against their traditional rivals as he took India to a win from a losing position. Being tasked with chasing 160 on a spicy Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) pitch, the Indian top-order struggled big time as they were left tottering at 45/4 at the halfway mark. Pakistan could almost see the finish line but in between them and the win stood Kohli, who with all his might and experience, played one of the best knocks of his life to take India home and give them a winning start in front of rousing support at the packed MCG. India would be heading into their contest with the Netherlands as firm favourites as another win would put them in a strong spot to make it to the semifinals.

Netherlands on the other hand, lost their first match to Bangladesh. While they did lose the game, the Dutchmen would be proud of their effort as they bowled well to restrict Bangladesh to 144/8. Then with the bat, they came agonisingly close, falling just nine runs short of the target. After that spirited show, they would back themselves to repeat a similar performance against India, although the task would be very, very far from easy. A loss to India would make it extremely tough for Scott Edwards and co to enter into the next stage.
