India vs Netherlands, ODI World Cup 2023 Warm-up match: Thiruvananthapuram Weather Forecast And Greenfield International Stadium Pitch Report

Team India will play a warm-up match against the Netherlands on Tuesday before entering the ODI World Cup. Rohit Sharma and Co. didn’t get any game-time against England as the warm-up match was abandoned due to persistent rain. The match between India and Netherlands is scheduled to be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, October 3.

The Dutch side were up against Australia on September 30. Buoyed by the return of Colin Ackermann, Paul van Meekeren and Roelof van der Merwe, the Netherlands cricket team will be aiming to pull off an impressive campaign at the ODI World Cup, scheduled to take place in India. The Dutch triumvirate of Ackermann, Paul van Meekeren and Roelof van der Merwe could not feature in the World Cup Qualifier, held in Zimbabwe earlier this year, due to their involvement in county cricket.

Team India will be aiming to make full use of their home advantage at the ODI World Cup this time. India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, will kick off their ODI World Cup 2023 journey with a game against the mighty Australian side on Sunday, October 8. The World Cup match between Team India and Australia is scheduled to be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk in Chennai.
