skipper Rohit Sharma has not put a foot wrong in their authoritative run in the World Cup and it won't be a surprise if they go about plundering Netherlands in their final league game, where Virat Kohl will have a perfect opportunity to scale 'Mount 50' at his spiritual home. India has already qualified for the semifinals while the eliminated Netherlands are on their way home.
Virat Kohli will not want any slip up in India's last league game, using it as preparation ground to return to his sharp self ahead of the semifinals after a week-long gap following the match against the Proteas. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj have made run-making a hazardous option for opposition batters, but a bit more consistency in line and length from Siraj could be welcomed by the management.
India and the Netherlands met each other twice before in World Cup in which Team India came out as the winning unit. The two teams first met each other in 2003 World Cup and then once again in the 2011 World Cup.
