We are all but set for play in the final group stage game but first, the two sets of players along with their mascots will line up for their respective national anthems. It will be the national anthem of Netherlands first followed by the national anthem of India.

Scott Edwards, the skipper of Netherlands says they would have batted first as well but it is a quite a good ground for chasing too. Adds that he is happy with the overall performance of the team as they got a couple of good wins in the middle phase but there were also some games were they have been blown away. Mentions that this is going to be the biggest crowd they have had in the tournament and they will look to put their best in the field. Informs they are unchanged as well.

He says that the weather is good with a high of 28 degrees Celsius but the humidity is a bit high. mentions that it is the center pitch with the sides boundaries being fairly short at 64 meters on either side and straight it is 73 meters. Aaron Finch joins him and says that spinners can have an impact on this surface and mentions Mitchell Santner who was prepared to toss the ball up. He says that the pitch looks like a beauty and the sheen on the wicket means you will get a monster score. He also mentions that batters can take a bit of time and go beserk later on.

Netherlands, on the other hand, have won only two matches but they have given a good account of themselves throughout this competition. However, they still have a lot to play for in this game as a win here would guarantee them a place in the Champions Trophy 2025. Their batting has really struggle as the tournament has progressed. Their openers have failed to get them the good starts while they are heavily dependent on their captain Scott Edwards in the batting department. The positive for them is Sybrand Engelbrecht who has been excellent and the inclusion of Wesley Barresi into the team was also a right decision as he provides a lot of experience. Their bowling though have been really good with Paul van Meekeren, Bas de Leede and Logan van Beek handling the pace department and picking up a lot of wickets in this World Cup while Aryan Dutt and Roelof van der Merwe make up a great spin duo for them who has enjoyed bowling on Indian conditions but this will be their toughest test and the Dutch will hope to do something special.

India have blown away teams in this World Cup and have the chance to finish the league stages undefeated. They have won eight out of eight and every department has contributed equally to their success. Their skipper Rohit Sharma has been selfless giving them quick starts while Virat Kohli is enjoying one of his best World Cups. Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul have also played some good knocks as well. Mohammed Shami has teared apart oppositions with some exceptional bowling while Jasprit Bumrah has been brilliant at every phase of the game. Ravindra Jadeja picked up fifer in the last game while Kuldeep Yadav has slowed down but that is only because the pacers almost finish the job before he could come into bowl. Mohammed Siraj also has found his rhythm back and they are looking like a lethal side. They can rotate the side a bit but will also want to enter the semis with a big win.

Hello and a warm welcome folks! It is time for the last league game of the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup. The dominant Men in Blue take on the Netherlands who has punched above their weight in this tournament and entertained all of us.

... MATCH DAY ...

We are down to the last league stage game of the 2023 ODI World Cup, which sees the hosts, India, take on the Netherlands at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The Men in Blue have not put a foot wrong in the competition so far, with eight wins on the trot, and are sitting pretty at the top of the points table. With a potential semi-final against New Zealand on the cards, Rohit Sharma's men would want to keep their unbeaten run intact and enter that game in Mumbai with momentum behind them. The Indian think thank have an interesting conundrum in front of them, which is whether to rest a few players or go with the same combination given that there are not many days left for that semi-final fixture. All eyes will be on the milestone man, Virat Kohli, who will be eyeing that elusive 50th ODI hundred that would take him past the great Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI hundreds. What has boded well for India is that either Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma has managed to register an 80-plus score in each of the eight games in this World Cup so far. The middle order, consisting of Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Suryakumar Yadav, has put its hand up at crucial times, as has Shubman Gill at the top of the order. Even though India lost Hardik Pandya due to an ankle injury, it has been a blessing in disguise for them as they have been able to feature their three-pronged pace attack. The trio of Jaspit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Siraj have been relentless upfront, followed by the spin twins Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, who have been equally good in the middle phase. On the other hand, the only Associate team to feature at this World Cup, the Netherlands, have exceeded expectations by inflicting defeats over Bangladesh and South Africa. They have shown that they are no pushovers and are a team on the rise in international cricket. Heading into the game against the mighty India, Scott Edwards' men have their Champions Trophy spot on the line, and they will need a win to keep their hopes alive. Looking back at their campaign, the Dutch will feel that had their batting clicked collectively, they would have strung a couple of wins more. Their top order has been hit-and-miss, with Max O'Dowd failing to convert his starts and Vikramjit Singh struggling for runs to find himself being eventually replaced by Wesley Barresi. Scott Edwards and Sybrand Engelbrecht have looked good but haven't been able to turn the Dutch fortunes around with the bat. Star all-rounder Bas de Leede has not quite had the impact he had with the bat during the World Cup Qualifiers, but he has excelled with the ball. Other than him, Paul van Meekeren, Logan van Beek, and Aryan Dutt have all done their bit in the bowling department. India and the Netherlands do not meet often in international cricket, and their only meetings have been during World Cups, with the Asian side winning on every occasion. Will India continue their dominance? Or will the Netherlands pull off the biggest upset of this World Cup? We will find out together.
