In the upcoming 45th match of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023, top-tier team India will face off against the Netherlands at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. India, topping the points table, is all set to continue their winning streak, while the Netherlands will be looking to upset the apple cart.
Head-to-Head
India has been a formidable force in the tournament, winning all eight matches in the round-robin stage.
Their recent form is impressive, with comprehensive victories in their last five matches.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, has had a mixed bag of performances with two wins and six losses.
India’s dominant track record, batting excellence, and comparative team performance make them the clear favourites.
The pitch at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium is known for its batting-friendly surface, which plays into the hands of the Indian team.
Obviously not a good bet at $1.01 but the hosts will run out comfortable winners over the plucky Dutch.
Most Runs
Virat Kohli, India’s star player, has been in exceptional form, scoring 543 runs at an average of 108.6 in the World Cup.
His recent century against South Africa and his record of scoring 50+ runs in five out of seven innings in Bengaluru, his home ground, during the IPL make him a strong contender for the highest run scorer in the match.
Most Wickets
Mohammed Shami has been the best bowler for India in this World Cup, taking 16 wickets at an average of 7.
His consistent performance and the potential for the pitch at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium to assist his style of bowling make him a strong bet for the top wicket-taker for India.
