Team India is going to face Netherlands in its second group match of the tournament. This match, to be played at the historic Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, is going to be very special and historic for both the teams. This match will start at 7:00 pm Indian time.
Face to face for the first time in T20 International
This will be the first time in the history of cricket when the women’s teams of India and Netherlands will take the field against each other in a T20 International match. Before this, there has never been any clash between the two teams in this shortest format, due to which there is a different excitement among the fans about this match.
The history of the last clash is 26 years old
Even though both the teams are playing T20 match for the first time, they have a long history in ODI cricket. A total of 3 ODI matches have been played between India and Netherlands so far and in all three matches the Indian team had registered a one-sided victory. The interesting thing is that since the year 2000 i.e. in the last 26 years, no international match has been played between the two teams. In such a situation, after more than two and a half decades, these two teams will clash on an international stage.
Netherlands’ first T20 World Cup
This T20 World Cup is very special for the Netherlands women’s cricket team because it has become a part of this mega event for the first time. However, he did not have a good start in the tournament and had to face defeat in his first match. The Netherlands team, which is searching for its first win, will now face the challenge of the strong Indian team. Team India, which is in excellent form, would like to make the path to the semi-finals easier by winning this historic match, while Netherlands will enter the field with the intention of causing an upset.
