India will take on the Netherlands in their final group-stage match of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 18. Having won all three of their group matches, the Men in Blue have already qualified for the Super 8 stage and will look to maintain their unbeaten streak.
In their previous outing, India secured a dominant 61-run win over Pakistan in Colombo. Batting first, India scored 175/7, powered by Ishan Kishan’s 77 off 40 balls. The bowlers then restricted Pakistan to 114 in 18 overs.
While Kishan has been in excellent form, the team will be hoping for stronger contributions from Abhishek Sharma. Tilak Varma has made promising starts but has yet to convert them into big scores.
