India vs Netherlands, Match 23 T20 WC 2022 Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones
Rohit Sharma needs three maximums to become the Indian batter with the most sixes in T20 World Cups.
After a remarkable victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening match in Melbourne, Rohit Sharma’s team India now gears up to face the Netherlands for the first time ever in a T20I, in Match 23 on October 27 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Virat Kohli’s heroic innings stole the show in front of above 90,000 Melbourne crowd in what turned out to be a humdinger at the end.
The Dutch side is coming off on the back of a nine-run defeat at the hands of the Bangla Tigers in Hobart. Speaking more of India’s spectacular win against Pakistan, the Men in Blue sealed the deal on the final delivery of a nerve-racking encounter. Chasing 160, Kohli played one of the most breath-taking knocks in his T20I career, which brought back memories of Mohali in the 2016 edition.
He ended up with 82 off just 53 to guide his side to a stunning victory in India’s history. Rohit and his high-flying team would look to keep the momentum going and make it two in two against the Dutch before facing a tougher challenge from South Africa on October 30. The Netherlands, who started the campaign with two wins, have now lost two on the bounce and would hope to put up a fight against tournament favorites India.
