India vs Netherlands- Previews and Betting Tips

The men in blue are walking into this encounter, clinching a magnificent win over Pakistan. It was a rollercoaster of emotions for the Indians as the match went down to the final over. Bowling first, the Indians did tremendously well. Arshdeep Singh redeemed himself from his past mistakes by bagging 3/32, taking all the important breakthroughs. Accompanying him was their star all-rounder Hardik Pandya who picked up 3/30. These crucial contributions helped India restrict Pakistan to 159/8.

While chasing, India were in a spot of bother as they were struggling at 31/4 in just 6 overs. It was the century stand between Hardik Pandya & run-machine Virat Kohli that dragged India out of the jaws of defeat. Especially it was a stellar performance by Virat Kohli as his 53-ball 82* will be edged in cricket’s history books forever. In the end, India snatched victory off the final ball by 4 wickets.

Chasing 145, Colin Ackermann came out all guns blazing and smashed a 48-ball 62 but couldn’t help his team get over the line. The Netherlands succumbed to the likes of Taskin Ahmed, whose 4/25 helped bundle the opposition out for 135. Bangladesh ended up winning the match by 9 runs.
