IND vs NED Betting Tips

Ishan Kishan to score Over 28.5 runs

Ishan Kishan is currently India’s leading run-scorer in this tournament, entering this contest on the back of consecutive half-centuries. His form at the top of the order has been imperious, having scored at least 29 runs in 4 of his last 6 innings. Given his aggressive intent and current rhythm, backing him to clear this line is a solid proposition.

Highest individual score Over 63.5

The Narendra Modi Stadium is renowned as a batter’s paradise. History suggests big scores are the norm here; each of the last 6 matches played at this venue has witnessed at least one individual score of 64 or more. With India’s heavy-hitting lineup and a lightning-fast outfield, we expect this high-scoring trend to continue.

IND vs NED Team Previews

India

India has been a juggernaut in this tournament, winning all three matches played so far. They became the first team from Group A to book their place in the Super 8 after decimating arch-rivals Pakistan by 61 runs on Sunday.

Ishan Kishan has been in red-hot form, anchoring the innings with his second half-century of the tournament in the previous game. He will continue to open alongside Abhishek Sharma, who is due for a big score. The middle order is packed with explosive power, featuring Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and finisher Rinku Singh.

The bowling unit has been equally impressive. Spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel have strangled opposition lineups, taking 6 wickets each. The pace attack remains lethal, spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah with the new ball.

India Expected Playing 11

Ishan Kishan (WK), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Rinku Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah

Netherlands

The Netherlands’ campaign has been plagued by inconsistency, with just one win from three matches. Currently sitting 4th on the points table, this is a must-win game; a loss here results in immediate elimination.

The Dutch batting woes stem from the top order. The opening pair of Michael Levitt and Max O'Dowd averages under 20 runs in the tournament and has struggled against the moving ball. The middle order relies heavily on the experience of Scott Edwards, Colin Ackermann, and star all-rounder Bas de Leede. However, aside from de Leede, contributions have been sparse.

Bas de Leede remains the team’s MVP, leading the bowling charts with 5 wickets. He will share pace duties with Logan van Beek and left-armer Fred Klaasen. The spin department, led by Aryan Dutt and veteran Roelof van der Merwe, has only managed 4 wickets combined and faces a stern test against excellent players of spin.

Netherlands Expected Playing 11

Max O'Dowd, Michael Levitt, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards (C & WK), Zach Lion Cachet, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Fred Klaasen, Roelof van der Merwe, Kyle Klein

IND vs NED Toss Prediction

While stats favor batting first, the team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first. The potential for dew later in the evening makes chasing a preferred option at this venue to avoid gripping a wet ball in the second innings.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

Expect a belter of a batting surface. The average first-innings score at Ahmedabad is around 190, and the team batting first should target 200+. The pitch offers an even covering of grass, which may provide some initial movement for seamers, but once the ball softens, stroke-making becomes effortless on the true bounce.

The outfield is exceptionally fast, offering full value for shots. There is no rain forecast, but dew is expected to play a significant factor in the second half of the match.

IND vs NED : Who Will Win?

We are unequivocally backing India to win this match. The hosts have settled into a devastating rhythm with key players firing in all departments. The Netherlands, struggling for consistency and depth, faces an uphill battle against such a formidable opponent in their own backyard.

Bet on India to win.
