When Team India plays the Netherlands in Sydney, they will steal the show once more. Virat Kohli, the previous captain, played a fantastic knock of 82* off 53 balls, securing the chase of 160 on the final ball of the over, and India will be full of confidence following their stunning come-from-behind triumph over Pakistan. On Monday, the Netherlands and Bangladesh played a competitive game. The Dutch bowlers did a good job of holding Bangladesh to 144, but the hitters struggled to get going and were down to 15/4. Although Colin Ackermann spearheaded the comeback with 62 off 48 balls, Bangladesh ultimately won by 9 runs. One of the final few teams to qualify for the 2022 T20 World Cup was The Men in Orange. In the semifinals of the Qualifiers, they overcame the United States of America before falling to Zimbabwe. Due to their loss to Zimbabwe, they would be competing in Group A with Namibia, Sri Lanka, and United Arab Emirates in an effort to advance to the Super 12. The SCG surface has been favorable for batting in recent years, but as we witnessed in the New Zealand-Australia game where the Kiwis posted 200 and the Aussies were bowled out for 111, it slows down as the game goes on. Both pacers and spinners like catching hitters off guard at the SCG's long, straight boundaries.
In their match against Pakistan, India picked what many considered to be its strongest XI from the available team. And they'll probably continue with it. This would imply that Chahal and Harshal would stay on the sidelines.

The Netherlands, who have now dropped two straight games dating back to the qualifying phase, are expected to change their starting lineup in an effort to turn things around. Stephan Myburgh, a seasoned batsman, might take over for Vikramjit Singh at the top. As the Netherlands appear to be no match for the Asian giants, India will be the clear favourite. In Group 2's points standing, India is presently in the lead because to their exciting opening victory over Pakistan. In order to boost their Net Run Rate (NRR) and maintain their lead in the standings, Men in Blue will also be looking for a convincing victory over the Netherlands.
