India will square off against the Netherlands at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Wednesday. The home team has ticked the right boxes so far in the tournament and would want to carry the same impetus into the Super 8 stage.
Ishan Kishan was at his absolute best against Pakistan as he scored a blistering knock of 77 runs off just 40 and he would look to carry the same form. It will be imperative for Abhishek Sharma to find some runs as well as his confidence after two back-to-back ducks.
Suryakumar Yadav has led the team with aplomb and the leadership confidence is palpable on the field.
On the other hand, the Netherlands will need to play out of their skins to challenge the Indian juggernauts.
