Live Updates: India vs. Netherlands, ICC World Cup 2023 Warm-Up Match
Today, at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, Rohit Sharma’s Indian team is ready to face off against the Netherlands. India’s goal is to provide ample opportunities to all players during this second warm-up match while solidifying their playing XI for the ICC World Cup 2023 opener against Australia on October 8.
India enters this match with confidence following a recent series win against the five-time world champion, Australia. The World Cup is returning to India after a 12-year gap, making it an important event for the Indian cricket team.
In their previous warm-up match at the same venue on September 30, the Netherlands faced Australia in a rain-affected game. Unfortunately, no result was achieved. Australia scored 166 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in their 23 overs, while the Netherlands managed to score only 84 runs and lost 6 wickets before the match was eventually called off.
According to a report from Cricbuzz, former Indian skipper Virat Kohli did not travel with the Indian squad from Guwahati to Thiruvananthapuram due to a ‘personal emergency.’ Other members of the Indian contingent arrived on Sunday evening for the match against the Netherlands on October 3.
Rain might once again play a significant role in this warm-up match, as Thiruvananthapuram has seen the most warm-up matches (2) for the ICC World Cup 2023 being called off due to rainy conditions.

India vs Netherland LIVE Updates: Should Kuldeep Yadav be in India’s Playing XI? Ravi Shastri answers
In an interview with ESPNCricinfo, Shastri commented, “Adaptability is key. I’ll take it a step further and study our opponents, strategizing how they might approach our players. With Ashwin now in the 15, it presents a constant challenge for the final XI. Kuldeep’s inclusion is not guaranteed, unless he makes a spectacular start. There’s no doubt about Kuldeep’s talent; he’s been in top form after a prolonged period. However, on a given day and on a specific pitch, if conditions are dry, we may opt for only two fast bowlers, especially with Hardik Pandya in the mix.
