India vs Netherlands LIVE: Toss in 10 minutes
We are just about 10 minutes away from toss time at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India have batted first in each of their three games so far, so it'll be interesting to see whether they get a chance to bowl first today.
India vs Netherlands T20 World Cup LIVE: Netherlands knocked OUT!
It's official now. Netherlands have been knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2026. Pakistan clinch a massive 102-run win over Namibia, and seal their place in the Super 8. Netherlands will be rueing their missed opportunity against Pakistan earlier in the group phase, having come so close to beating them.
India vs Netherlands T20 World Cup LIVE: India's likely changes
With India returning to play on home soil, they're likely to revert back to the combination they had before the Pakistan match. That would see pacer Arshdeep Singh return to the playing XI, replacing Kuldeep Yadav.
It would also not be a surprise to see pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah rested, as India have already booked their Super 8 spot.
India vs Netherlands LIVE: Netherlands' Super 8 hopes fading
As it stands, Pakistan are firmly on top in their Group A match against Namibia. Namibia are 62/4 after 10 overs, chasing a mammoth target of 200. Remember, if Pakistan wins, both Netherlands and USA are knocked out of the Super 8 race.
India vs Netherlands T20 World Cup LIVE: Abhishek Sharma under scanner
Abhishek Sharma, India's star opener and the No. 1-ranked T20I batter in the world, is under the pump. The dashing left-hander is yet to open his account in this tournament, having made ducks in India's games against USA and Pakistan. He also suffered from a stomach bug mid-tournament.
India vs Netherlands LIVE: Ishan Kishan on fire
India opener Ishan Kishan has arguably been the best batter of the ongoing T20 World Cup so far. The left-hander has smashed 158 runs in the first three games, including two half-centuries. Kishan single-handedly changed India's fortunes against Pakistan, smashing a superb 77. He'll be hoping to continue this rich vein of form today.
India vs Netherlands LIVE: India's Super 8 warm-up?
India have already booked their Super 8 berth after winning each of their first three Group A matches. As a result, Suryakumar Yadav and co. can treat this match almost as a warm-up fixture, and look to continue their rhythm ahead of their first Super 8 match against South Africa on Sunday.
India vs Netherlands T20 World Cup LIVE: Netherlands focused on Pak game
Despite their match being later today, the Netherlands team must be keeping a keen eye on the ongoing match between Pakistan and Namibia. Netherlands have a very slim chance of qualifying for the Super 8 if they beat India by a big margin, but all those hopes will be dashed even before the India match if Pakistan win.
If Pakistan defeat Namibia, they will join India in qualifying for the Super 8 from Group A.
