Fantasy Notes (INDIA) - India vs Netherlands, Match 45, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Prediction
Points to Consider
- India might want to keep the momentum going and avoid making too many changes to their XI even though it is a dead-rubber game. That said, bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah might be given a rest, with Prasidh Krishna coming into the XI. The batting unit is likely to remain unchanged.
- Rohit Sharma in ODIs at Bengaluru: Inns - 4, Runs - 437, Avg/SR - 109/112, 50s/100s - 1/2; With three 50+ scores in four matches at this ground and with the kind of form that the Indian captain is in, he should ideally enjoy batting in these high scoring conditions. The ball travels far in the air due to the high altitude of the ground, making him a top C/VC option.
- The Netherlands are the second-worst team against left-arm orthodox spin in this World Cup and in ODIs in 2023 (among WC teams). Apart from Vikramjit Singh, Scott Edwards, and Teja Nidamanuru, none of them averaged over 30 against this bowling type in 2023. Ravindra Jadeja makes for a good matchup against a right-hand dominant batting unit of the Netherlands. Back him as a differential C/VC option in your team.
- Bas de Leede's fantasy potential has gone down in recent games with his demotion down the order, from Number 4 to Number 6. Additionally, he is a much better option when bowling first at the death, which can help him get some easy wickets, compared to the second innings.
- If India bowls first, the simplest strategy would be to load up on their bowlers and pick both the openers, and either the Number 3 batter (Virat Kohli), the wicketkeeper, KL Rahul (for the keeping points), or both. We expect the Indian team to chase down the score set by the Netherlands quite easily at this venue.
