Cricket giants India and the Netherlands will face off in the 45th and final match of the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, scheduled for Sunday, November 12, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

India, having dominated the tournament thus far, stands as the overwhelming favorite for the match. Their impressive undefeated streak has secured their place in the semi-finals, while the Netherlands, with two wins, faces a steeper challenge. Despite their recent 160-run loss to defending champions England, the Dutch team is determined to end their World Cup campaign on a high note.

Fans can catch the live action on Star Sports Network, Disney+ Hotstar app, and Disney+ Hotstar website. The match is expected to commence at 2:00 PM (IST).

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium’s batting-friendly pitch is anticipated to favor the batters, who should encounter an even pace and bounce on the surface. Spinners may also find opportunities to shine as the game progresses.

In head-to-head ODI encounters, India holds a perfect record, having won both previous matches against the Netherlands.

Here’s a look at the probable playing XIs for both teams:

India:

Shubman Gill Rohit Sharma (c) Virat Kohli Shreyas Iyer KL Rahul (wk) Suryakumar Yadav Ravindra Jadeja Kuldeep Yadav Jasprit Bumrah Mohammed Shami Mohammed Siraj

Netherlands:

Wesley Barresi Max O’Dowd Colin Ackermann Sybrand Engelbrecht Scott Edwards (c, wk) Bas de Leede Teja Nidamanuru Logan van Beek Roelof van der Merwe Aryan Dutt Paul van Meekeren

Experts predict Virat Kohli (India) to emerge as the probable best batter, while Mohammed Shami (India) is tipped as the probable best bowler.
