India’s next assignment will be the Netherlands on October 27th. The match will happen at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). On that note, here, we take a look at the pitch report of Sydney Cricket Ground for the India vs Netherlands match and the weather conditions in Sydney.
Having won a close game against arch-rivals Pakistan, India is high on confidence. They will want to seal their semi-final spot at the earliest. However, in the process, the management will target the out-of-form batters to regain form. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma will want to score a few runs against the Dutch.
The Netherlands worked hard to reach the Super 12 stage of the tournament. They lost to Bangladesh by a small margin. India will be a tougher opponent but they will target to make a game out of it.
