India and Netherlands are set for a first-ever meeting at the Women’s T20 World Cup on Wednesday.
In the hunt for their first T20 title, the Women in Blue started their campaign with a convincing 64-run win over Pakistan in Group A, scoring 170/6 before dismissing the latter for 106 runs.
Having earned a spot through global qualifiers, the Dutch team started off on the wrong foot by suffering a 6-wicket defeat against Bangladesh.
As record four-time champions Australia and two-time runners-up South Africa are also in Group A, a win will be vital as only two teams from each group are guaranteed a semi-final berth.
