India (IND) vs Netherlands (NED) T20 World Cup 2026 Match Live Cricket Score Updates: India are already through, the Netherlands are pretty much out and so there isn’t much riding on this match from the perspective of the tournament itself.

It’s the habit he has pampered the audience into, the burden of expectations he has imposed on himself. With every defensive stroke of his, the onlookers grew impatient.
