After a epic four-wicket win over Pakistan in their ICC T20 World Cup 2022 opener, India would be looking to continue the momentum when they face Netherlands in a Group 2 Super 12 match in Sydney on Thursday. (More Cricket News)
Against Pakistan, it was a Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya show with the bat. On Thursday, the team management would want the likes of KL Rahul♒, Rohit🌳 Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav to get some runs under the belt.
The SCG has b𒀰een a happy hunting ground for Kohli in the shortest format of the game. In four T20Is Kohli has played in Sydney, all against Australia, the former India captain’s scores read 50, 61 not out, 40 and 85.
The kind of form Kohli is in at the moment and after his exploits against Pakistan on Sunday, it is expected th♈e world will see Kohli magic once again. On the other hand, the Dutch have presented a good account of themselves in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2022.
Netherlands started on a good note winning back-to-back matches in the qualiജfiers against UAE and Namibia. However, they put up a good fight against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh (Super 12) before going down.
More thꦯan the result, Netherlands’ encounter on Thursday against India will be a good learning curve for them, something they players are pumped up for.
“What a match and what a ꦬsensational innings 🧸by Virat Kohli. What an honor for the Dutch to play against India on the 27th and Pakistan the 30th,” Cricket Netherlands tweeted after India defeated Pakistan.
The onus for Netherlands will be on Max O’Dowd and Bas de Leede who are among the top five in batting and bowling charts respectively for the tournament so far. While O’Dowd has scored 137 runs in four games, Leed𓆏e took nine wickets so far from the same number of games.
There is a young opener of Indian origin Vikramjit Singh, who is considered to be promising in their cric💙keting circles. Tim Pringle is also part of the squad. A slow left-arm spinner and a l🅷ower order batter, Tim's father Chris had in mid '90s played a lot of games for New Zealand as a seam bowler.
The Indian fans would remember Pringle being one of the bowlers, who was hammered by Sachin Tendulkar whenever the two teams clashed. Bas de Leede, whose father Tim represented the Netherlands in the 1🌼996 ODI World Cup, is also part of the squad.
