India vs Netherlands Prediction: India to dominate the game

India will be facing off against the Netherlands for the first time in the T20 format. The venue will be Sydney Cricket Ground where the teams will battle out for pride and supremacy. Will India continue their impressive run in the campaign or will we see an upset in the competition?

India chased down a good total of 160 runs against Pakistan in a thrilling game of the tournament. Virat Kohli stole the show with his impressive 82-run stand and single-handedly gave India the victory. It was the most thrilling game of the tournament so far. Indian openers and middle order departed pretty quickly without any substantial runs. They will be looking to change that and have a better performance against minnows Netherlands.

Netherland lost their opening Super 12 game against Bangladesh after an impressive run to join the super 12s. The Netherlands were impressive in the qualifiers after winning both games but the super 12 stages have not started to their liking. The Netherlands can create the biggest upset of the tournament if they can beat India in this game.

The Sydney pitch is known to assist pacers and we can expect the same in this game. The par score on this pitch is 175 which will be difficult to get if openers depart early. Both the teams have quality spinners who can turn the game in middle overs. We expect India to dominate the proceedings and come out on top. 

• India team opening partnership over 30.5 for 1.90;
