India, led by Rohit Sharma, is set to face the Netherlands, captained by Scott Edwards, in their final round-robin match of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday, November 11). India currently holds the top position on the points table, having emerged winner in all their league matches in the ODI World Cup.
They are also the first team to secure a spot in the semi-finals, where they will compete against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday. Throughout their journey to the World Cup semi-finals, India has won against teams such as South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Pakistan.
Giants vs the Minnows
India's journey in the World Cup has been consistently remarkable, with occasional challenges adding to the magic. India has been exceptionally dominant, boasting an unblemished 8-0 record in this World Cup.
Heading into their final league match against the Netherlands, a team considered less fancied despite exceeding expectations, India seems to have a favorable position.
Sunday's match also provides an opportunity for India to rest key players if necessary ahead of the crucial semifinal match.
India's head coach Rahul Dravid said that they are not contemplating "tactical" changes. However, there is a possibility that they might opt to give playing time to the likes of Prasidh Krishna, playing in his inaugural World Cup, or R Ashwin, who hasn't played since the tournament's opening game against Australia last month.
On the other hand, The Netherlands team is poised to make a statement of their own. Having spent more time in India than any other visiting side during this World Cup, they have experienced the highs of two impressive wins. Despite these successes, they are determined not to conclude the tournament at the bottom of the points table.
