IND vs NED Highlights: The rain has stopped at Thiruvananthapuram and the covers are off. However, the pitch is still pretty wet and it will take some time to get the pitch dry. Notably, Home side India plays a warm-up match against the Netherlands as preparations for the ODI World Cup. To note, the Men in Blue didn’t get any game-time against the defending champs England as the warm-up match was abandoned due to persistent rain. Netherlands on the other hand survived losing their first warm-up game against Australia which was reduced to 23 overs a side. The match between India and Netherlands is scheduled to be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, October 3.

Pitch Report:
A good batting surface might be expected for the match as both sides might want to have a bat first. The new ball bowlers might get seam movement but as the ball gets older the batting will become easier. If India bats first then we might see 350+ score.
Meanwhile, the weather for the match is also expected to be clear. But the Kerala rain has been very indecisive if considering last two-three WC warm-up matches.
