Indian players and fans are waiting for the Warmup game against the Netherlands to have some practice before going into the ICC World Cup 2023. India’s last warm-up match against England was washed out without a ball being bowled. So, players are desperately waiting for this match to take place so that management refine their final 11 for the big match against Australia on October 8th in M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Though captains are not bound to name their playing XI for a practice match still they have their playing 11 to go with and some decisions looking at the results. So, the Indian team playing XI vs. the Netherlands.
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami, Ishan Kishan, Surya Kumar Yadav.
Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, Bumrah, and Kuldeev might be rested. But it is not necessary that these players will not bowl or bat. They are allowed to ball and bat as captains have the luxury to try out all 15-member squads to give the final touch to their teams. But Virat Kohli might not participate in this game.
The playing XI for Netherlands vs India in this last warmup match will be;
Scott Edwards (c), Max O’Dowd, Bas de Leede, Vikram Singh, Teja Nidamanuru, Paul van Meekeren, Colin Ackermann, Roelof van der Merwe, Aryan Dutt, Wesley Barresi, Saqib Zulfiqar
Looking at the experience and strength of other teams, the Netherlands seems to be a low-profile team but they have the courage and potential to beat any on their day. The way they qualified for the ODI World Cup 2023 was phenomenal. The Netherlands chased down a huge total to 40 odd overs to qualify.
The weather report is not satisfactory for Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. It will be cloudy for the most part of the day. Rain is also predicted which interrupts the game.
Win prediction is heavily tilted toward India. India is a strong team, the current form is phenomenal. They are the Asian Champions and home ground advantage will also help in increasing India’s winning percentage. Google favors India by giving a 96% chance of winning the game.
Playing Conditions Ind vs. Ned
The playing conditions for the warmup match will remain the same. Every team can try out all their players. But only 11 will be allowed to field and bat.
