The marauding Indians have 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.바카라 웹사이트(Match Blog바카라 웹사이트|바카라 웹사이트Scorecard바카라 웹사이트| Streaming바카라 웹사이트|바카라 웹사이트Points Table바카라 웹사이트|바카라 웹사이트Full Coverage)

India have already qualified for the semifinals while the eliminated Netherlands are on their way home, and this situation casts a perception of insignificance on their fixture.

But in reality, there are no academic-natured matches in a World Cup, where teams constantly try to better their best in the quest for ultimate glory.바카라 웹사이트

India are no different as they look to maintain the momentum while ticking off a few team goals against the Netherlands, hence a large-scale change to the hosts’ playing eleven looks unlikely at this stage.바카라 웹사이트

Since cricket is often a game of outcome and numbers, an approaching historic personal milestone gives this game an exciting undertone as well, which also carries importance from the team라이브 바카라 perspective.바카라 웹사이트

Kohli had equalled Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI hundreds against South Africa at Kolkata, and the wait now is on for his 50th ton.바카라 웹사이트

Kohli may like to insulate himself from the outside noise and focus on the job at his hand – continue churning out runs but expectations have only grown 바카라 웹사이트that he gets the milestone hundred at his IPL home.

So far, he has amassed 543 runs, leading India라이브 바카라 batting chart and this is also the first time Kohli is going past the 500-run mark in the 50-over World Cup.바카라 웹사이트

He had made 282 runs in 2011, 305 in 2015 and 443 in 2019, while Tendulkar, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma played the lead roles with the bat in those editions.바카라 웹사이트

Hence, 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.바카라 웹사이트

From a team point of view, the management might just want to see some runs against Suryakumar Yadav's name. He has made 85 runs from four matches at an average of 21.25.바카라 웹사이트

He is the only missing individual piece in this Indian line-up where other frontline batters have made at least one fifty and the whole turn of events corroborates with his modest run in the ODIs as well.바카라 웹사이트

Suryakumar got into the eleven after the injury-enforced absence of Hardik Pandya, but the Mumbaikar has not really cashed in on the opportunity yet. Netherlands gives him a good chance to correct that anomaly.바카라 웹사이트

Similarly, the Indian batting upfront has a minor glitch, one that has gone a bit unnoticed in the flow of their eight successive wins in the tournament.바카라 웹사이트

Openers Rohit and Shubman Gill have stitched together three fifty-plus stands in the tournament, but in five other matches they were separated quickly.바카라 웹사이트

But in those three games, they went off the blocks quite quickly, putting the opposition through the wringer. They have made 88 runs in 12.4 overs against Bangladesh, 71 in 11.1 overs against New Zealand and 62 in 5.5 overs against South Africa.바카라 웹사이트

But on other times, their alliance was snapped at 5, 32, 23, 26 and 4. The thinktank would like them to expand the footprint of those three matches, and Netherlands, no respect lost here, give them a perfect platform to do that.바카라 웹사이트

India라이브 바카라 bowling, on the other hand, remained largely trouble free with the three pacers and the two spinners delivering frequently.바카라 웹사이트

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.바카라 웹사이트

But overall, this ultra-efficient five-man unit will be looking for one final rehearsal ahead of the last four match, potentially against New Zealand at Mumbai. 바카라 웹사이트

Turning to the Dutch camp, they will be a happy bunch to give at least a few rough moments to this red-hot Indian side.바카라 웹사이트

They have some capable bowlers in Logan Van Beek, Bas de Leede and Paul van Meekeren but on an often-smooth Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch they will be hard pressed to stop a strong Indian batting establishment.바카라 웹사이트

Their top-order batters like Teja Nidamanuru, Max O’Dowd and Wesley Barresi have struggled for runs in this tournament and tackling a well-oiled Indian bowlers could prove too hot a task for them.바카라 웹사이트
