India and Netherlands are going head to head in the 45th Match of the Cricket World Cup at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru India on 12 Nov 2023. India is the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far and has won all their in an impressive manner. Who will win this game of cricket?

India form

India has been exceptional in this tournament, winning all 8 matches played so far. Regardless of the outcome of this match, they will secure the top spot in the points table. As predicted at the beginning of the tournament, India's batting has been a notable strength. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, as veterans, have led the charge, supported by Shubhman Gill, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Suryakumar Yadav, who have played their part in achieving match-winning totals. However, the most encouraging aspect of India's journey has been the performance of their bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami have formed a lethal pace attack, while Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja have been effective on even the fastest surfaces in restricting the opponent's batting. With the upcoming match against New Zealand, India sees it more as a practice session.

Netherlands form

Prior to the commencement of this tournament, there weren't many individuals who believed in the potential of the Netherlands. However, against all odds, the Dutch team has managed to secure victory in two matches. If they secure another win in this upcoming match, their chances of participating in the 2025 Champions Trophy will significantly improve. In the previous match, Wesley Barresi, who took over the opening position from Vikramjit Singh, showed promising form and will aim to score quick runs during the PowerPlay. On the other hand, Max O'Dowd has had a disappointing tournament thus far. Scott Edwards and Sybrand Engelbrecht have both achieved half-centuries twice, proving to be crucial players for the Netherlands in this particular competition. The team will heavily depend on their all-rounders to perform well. Logan van Beek, Bas De Leede, and Colin Ackermann are all capable players who have the ability to swiftly change the outcome of the match. Throughout the tournament, Paul van Meekeren and Aryan Dutt have demonstrated excellent bowling skills and will strive to maintain pressure on the Indian batsmen.

India vs Netherlands Expert Tips & Prediction

Both teams have had equal success while batting first and second on this ground in the tournament, winning two matches each. However, we believe that batting first would be a favourable option on this pitch.

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium typically offers a good batting surface with a flat and even pitch, providing a decent amount of pace and bounce. Due to recent rain in Bengaluru, there might be some moisture on the pitch, allowing the ball to skid. The team batting first will aim to score over 300 runs to put pressure on the opposition.

Although there is no rain forecasted for Sunday, there might be some clouds in the sky. The maximum temperature is expected to be around 27 degrees.

Considering the strong performance of the hosts, it would be unwise to bet against them. Therefore, it is recommended to place your bet on India for the win.
