IND vs NL Team Previews
India
India’s performance in this tournament has been nothing but brilliant. They have won each of the 8 matches played so far and will finish at the top of the points table irrespective of the outcome of this match.
As was expected at the start of this tournament, India’s batting has been one of its strong points. The veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have led the attack, while Shubhman Gill, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Suryakumar Yadav have played an excellent supporting role to lead India to match-winning totals.
But perhaps the most heartening feature of the hosts’ journey so far has been the performance of its bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami have emerged as one of the most lethal pace attacks of the tournament, while Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja have exploited even quickest of the surfaces to keep a tab on the opposition batting.
As India is set to face New Zealand (in all probability) on the 15th, they will look at this match as more of a practice session.

Netherlands
Not many gave a chance to the Netherlands before the start of this tournament. However, the Dutch have punched above their weight to win two matches so far. Another win here will greatly improve its odds of making it to the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Wesley Barresi, who replaced Vikramjit Singh at the top of the order in the last match, looked in decent touch and will look to score some quick runs during the PowerPlay. However, Max O’Dowd has had a terrible tournament so far. Scott Edwards and Sybrand Engelbrecht have scored 2 half-centuries each and will be the key players for the Netherlands in this contest.
The Netherlands will rely on the all-rounders to deliver the goods. Logan van Beek, Bas De Leede, and Colin Ackermann are all quality players who can quickly change the course of the match. Paul van Meekeren and Aryan Dutt have bowled well throughout this tournament and will look to keep the Indian batsmen under pressure.

IND vs NL Toss Prediction
Teams batting first and second have enjoyed similar rates of success on this ground during this tournament, winning 2 matches each. However, we feel that batting first on this surface will be a good option.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is generally good to bat on. The surface is flat and even and provides a good amount of pace and bounce. It has rained in Bengaluru over the past week so there should be some amount of moisture, allowing the ball to skid. The team batting first will look to cross the 300-run mark to put the opposition under pressure.
There is no forecast of rain on Sunday but there might be some clouds dotting the sky. The maximum temperature is likely to be around 27 degrees.

Bonus Cricket Bets
The Indian batting line-up is in excellent form in this tournament and has hit 54 6s in 8 matches. As they face an average bowling attack of the Netherlands on an excellent batting surface, we are backing them to score plenty of maximums.
Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma are among the most consistent opening pairs in this World Cup, while the Netherlands’ openers have struggled throughout. We are therefore backing India to put up a bigger opening stand.
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium has already seen 4 centuries in as many matches played here. Looking at the quality and form of the Indian batting, we are expecting a big inning from at least one of their batsmen.
