India vs Netherlands, ICC T20 World Cup 2026: India will be up against the Netherlands in match 36 of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 18. India have been in outstanding form and are yet to suffer a defeat in the tournament, having got the better of their arch-rivals Pakistan by 61 runs in the previous game in Colombo.
With an aim to maintain the momentum and continue their winning run, India will be looking to come up with another special performance and finish the group stage on a high. Having already qualified for the Super 8s, the Men in Blue are expected to introduce a few changes in order to provide some rest to some of their senior stars. They will kick off their Super 8 campaign with the match against the West Indies on Saturday. Ahmedabad has the highest runs per over and the second-best runs/wicket ratio among all venues in the competition.
Netherlands have played India twice in World Cups since 2022, and one of their biggest challenges in these contests has been to handle the pressure of playing in front of big crowds. They have one win and two points under their belt after three games and are placed fourth in the Group A standings.
