GONE! Would you believe it? Abhishek Sharma is out for 0 again. 3 ducks in a row! The India opener, the No. 1 T20I batter in the world, is gone without scoring again. He goes for a hard swing, misses, and Aryan Dutt's delivery knocks over the stumps. 3-ball duck.

IND 0/1 (0.3)

We are LIVE! Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma opening for India. Can Abhishek finally get off the mark? Can Kishan end the group stages as the top run-scorer of the tournament? Aryan Dutt, the off-spinner, is going to open the bowling.

Interestingly, Abhishek is wearing Mohammed Siraj's No. 73 jersey!

Sunil Gavaskar states ahead of the game that the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is good, and he expects India to score 200 or more. Over to Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and co. to meet the expectations!

Netherlands XI vs India: Michael Levitt, Max O'Dowd, Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (c/wk), Zach Lion-Cachet, Noah Croes, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Kyle Klein.

India XI vs Netherlands: Ishan Kishan (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav wins the toss and opts to bat! For the fourth time in the group stage, India will be batting first. Two changes announced - Arshdeep Singh replaces Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar comes in for Axar Patel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

A very warm welcome to one and all, to the live coverage of the T20 World Cup 2026 game between India and Netherlands! We are at the gigantic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today, in what is the final Group A match.
