The 23rd match of World Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between India and Netherlands on Thursday, 27th October 2022 at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney

India is overall a strong and experienced team when they come to the T20 format of cricket. The way how the bowlers of India performed in the first match against Pakistan was just outstanding. They picked two key wickets of Pakistan Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan on a total of just 15 runs. Arshdeep Singh provided early break throws to India and they leaked just 159 runs against the strong batting order of Pakistan. Hardik Pandya was the most successful bowler from their side with three wickets to his name in four overs against 30 runs. Arshdeep Singh was also outstanding with the ball. He picked a total of three wickets including the big wickets of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam in four overs while he was charged for 32 runs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Shami picked one wicket each while Ravi Ashwin and Axar Patel were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. Axar Patel leaked 21 runs in just one over.

The bowlers of India did their job properly in the previous match. The key strength of team India is their batting order but they were struggling against the bowlers of Pakistan. The big names of Indian batters like KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Axar Patel failed to give the best performance. Virat Kohli was the only batter from team India who played a main role in this win. He remained on the crease till the chase of the target. He played his career best inning of 82 runs. His partnership of 111 runs with Hardik Pandya was a turning point in the game. Virat Kohli faced 53 balls and smashed six boundaries and four huge sixes during his inning. Hardik Pandya was the other batter who played a key role in that match. He scored 40 runs at a crucial time on 37 balls with the help of one boundary and two huge sixes. India had opened its account on the table and will be looking forward to winning its next matches against Bangladesh, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

Netherlands won two out of three qualifier matches but lost the first match of the super 12 against Bangladesh. The key strength of the Netherlands had been their bowling unit and they also performed well in the previous match where they leaked just 144 runs in 20 overs. Fred Klaassen and Colin Ackermann are their leading bowlers with van Meekeren, Bas de Leede, Tim Pringle, Shariz Ahmad, and Logan van Beek. Paul van Meekeren was the most successful bowler from their side in the previous match with two wickets to his name in four overs against just 21 runs. Bas de Leede also picked two wickets but he leaked a lot of runs. He was charged for 29 runs in three overs. Fred Klaassen, Tim Pringle, Shariz Ahmad, and van Beek were the bowlers who picked one wicket each while Ackermann failed to pick any wicket.

The batting order of the Netherlands had not been much impressive in ICC T20 World Cup 2022. The bowlers of the Netherlands are performing well but they are not getting any support from the batters. We also saw the same in their previous match against Bangladesh where they could manage to score 135 runs while chasing the target of 145 runs. Colin Ackermann was the only successful batter from their side who scored 62 runs on 48 balls with the help of six boundaries and two huge sixes. He is a good player of spin and seam bowler and we think that they will be good against the bowlers of India. Paul van Meekeren was the other batter who put some runs on the board. He scored 24 runs while the skipper, Scott Edwards scored just 14 runs. No other batter from their side could even enter into the double figure. This is a very important match for the Netherlands and we are sure that they will play with the full force.

India had never played against Netherlands and this will be for the first time in cricket history that India will meet Netherlands in a T20 match.

The 23rd match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The pitch is bouncy and fast and run-scoring is not much easy in early and middle overs. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Sydney is predicting some clouds around on match day and the weather forecast is also predicting some chances of rain but we are hoping for a full and uninterrupted match.
