IND vs NL Match Preview
India is almost certainly going to win this match. If it does not, something dramatic would have happened that no one would have accounted for. You have to make the Dream11 team taking the most likely scenario in mind. That means the Indian bowlers could get some help with the new ball and pick up wickets. The Netherlands is going to struggle to get a lot of runs and its bowlers will also find it hard to make a lot of inroads.
India's top order is likely to be enough to get the job done, so you really do not want to look lower than number four for your batters.
Weather Report
The weather forecast is quite good for match day.
Pitch Report
The pitch is expected to be flat and very good for batting. A lot of runs were scored here when New Zealand defeated Australia and the same could be the case in this match as well. A lot of runs for the batters and some bounce that the faster bowlers can use.
Notable stats
Virat Kohli loves the big stage
There was never any doubt this was there. Well, if ever an emotion could be represented statistically then it was this. Virat Kohli has 11 fifties in T20 WC matches. His average is 84.30 and strike rate is over 131.5. These are freakish numbers that will be hard to every come close to.
Team News
India may be tempted to rotate its players a bit but there does not appear to be any injuries that make it necessary to do so.

Dream11 Prediction
We think India will win and will make another statement while doing so. The Netherlands have been beaten by Sri Lanka and Bangladesh before this match. They are in for a real shock in this next game.
Top Picks
KL Rahul - Perhaps no other player in the Indian team takes advantage of playing against the weaker opposition as KL Rahul. He can be expected to add to his stats once more in this one.
Arshdeep Singh - The man with the golden arm for India, will take the new ball and probably be very hard to face. He could get plenty of wickets cheaply.
Bas de Leede - One of the best batters for the Netherlands, he is also an integral part of their bowling lineup. He can be expected to put up a fight and get you some valuable points.
