India are riding on the back of a successful Asia Cup campaign where they humiliated Sri Lanka in the finals and clinched the silverware after five years. They ticked various boxes in the tour and later Ravichandran Ashwin was roped in as a replacement to injured Axar Patel. The Men in Blue's first warm-up assignment against England got abandoned due to persistent rain in Guwahati. And now the caravan moves to the south of India where they will test against the runners-up of 2023 World Cup Qualifiers (WCQ).
On the other hand, Netherlands have hardly played international cricket since becoming the runners-up of WCQ 2023. Few of their players had county stints in the UK. However, the Ryan Cook-coached group had a practice camp in Alur, Karnataka. They also played a couple of competitive games against the domestic side but failed to topple them on both occasions. In their recent warm-up encounter against Australia, rain played a spoilsport, ending up as a stalemate despite completion of first innings (23-over) where Australia scored 166. Netherlands were six down for 84 in 14.2 overs and then the showers halted the play for the final time.
Having said that, its time to hover through the top picks, top captain and vice-captain picks, and best predicted teams for various cricket fantasy contests.
IND vs NED: Pitch Report
The surface at the Greenfield International Stadium has seen some relatively high scores in the first innings in recent times. But the bowlers tend to get assistance in the second innings. Generally, the pacers get help with the new ball while the spinners may come into the act if the pitch gets tacky. However, rain has played a great role in regulating the games for the last week or so. Once again, there is rain speculated for the day and this could turn out to be a stalemate too.
