India will lock horns with the Netherlands in their second Super 12 clash of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday, October 27. Two points will be up for grabs and both teams will play out of their skin to pocket the points.
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.
Kohli and Hardik Pandya added a 113-run partnership for the fifth wicket to drift the game in their favor, before winning the high-octane tie on the last ball of the match. 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.
