The Netherlands played some brilliant cricket in the qualification round to make it to the Super 12 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2022 and now they are currently facing India in the 23rd match of the tournament on Thursday (October 27) at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).

Talking about the India v Netherlands match, the Dutch team now requires 180 runs to win the match against Rohit Sharma and his team if they want to keep their semifinal hopes alive.

Max O'Dowd couldn't quite repeat his previous performance and was bowled by Akshar Patel for 16 runs in 10 balls with 3 fours, as the Netherlands are 20/2 in 4.2 overs.
