India vs Netherlands prediction
Whilst India were comprehensive winners in the end over Pakistan by 64 runs this past weekend, it wasn’t always straightforward. Captain Smriti Mandhana was crucial, scoring 68 from 44 balls at the top of the order before some late hitting from wicket-keeper Richa Ghosh ensured a sizeable total that Pakistan could not get near in the end.
Netherlands lost what felt like a must-win game against Bangladesh by six wickets and have a huge mountain to climb now if they are to get any further in this competition. They are vastly inferior to India in all departments when you compare these two teams and with India massive favourites, the smart play is to focus on Mandhana. Consider backing her to accumulate another good score against what is a poor bowling attack.
India vs Netherlands tip: Smriti Mandhana to score 30+ runs
