Though India is up against the minnows Netherlands but still they are in no mood to take this game lightly. They are girding up to go all out against the Netherlands that has put some moderate performance in the tournament compared to other starts up.
The ride for India in Delhi would be an easy one compared to the one in Bangalore where there was some uncertainties against the giant-killer Ireland. But it was only before the match. Once the match started India stamped its authority on the game.
It was a comfortable win for it. Now also, they are on their way to register a win over the Netherlands. By doing so they will become the only team in their group to reach quarters undefeated. Till now no team has been able to defeat it. With most of the Indian batsmen in full form, they have managed to have their way in all the matches.
Wednesday would turn out to be their practicing day. Before the big fight, the Indians have time to test their bowling strength which in the tournament has not been sharp compared to other teams like Australia and South Africa. But still the pacers have succeeded in delivering at the right time.
On the other hand the Netherlands fans will be expecting a miracle from their team to defeat World Cup’s favorite team. The Netherlands players, who are immune to noise as they are known to only express their emotions in football ground, will have tough time to as they would be playing in front of a hostile crowd of more than 42,000.
