After a thumping win in their first game, India will look to keep their winning momentum going when they lock horns with the Netherlands at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday, October 27. On that note, let’s take a look at the fantasy cricket tips for the IND vs NED T20 World Cup clash.
India edged past arch-rivals Pakistan by four wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday, October 23. Rohit Sharma and Co. were in a stage of bother after being reduced to 31/4 in pursuit of 160. However, Virat Kohli (82* off 53) played a knock for the age to take India home.
India will be brimming with confidence and will look to come out all guns blazing to make it two out of two in the Super 12 stage.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, have held their own against Test-playing nations Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. They have a good mix of youth and experience, with Bas de Leede being one to watch out for in this game. All in all, a cracking game of cricket beckons at the SCG.
