In the final group stage match of the ICC World Cup 2023, India is set to take on the Netherlands in Bengaluru on November 11. The Dutch team secured their spot in the competition after a thrilling victory over Scotland, courtesy of a stellar performance by Bas de Leede. The Netherlands emerged triumphant by four wickets, with de Leede making significant contributions with both bat and ball.

This match holds special significance as it will witness a repeat of the 2011 World Cup final, where India emerged victorious, clinching their first ODI World Cup title since 1983. The anticipation surrounding this clash has already ignited a wave of excitement on social media. The encounter is scheduled to take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on November 2.

De Leede played a pivotal role in the Dutch victory, scoring a brilliant 123 runs and also picking up five wickets for 52 runs during Scotland’s innings. Despite facing some challenging moments in their own innings, with the score at 108-4 at one stage, the Netherlands showcased their resilience. De Leede’s remarkable century, comprising seven fours and five sixes, including two consecutive sixes to reach the milestone, proved instrumental in chasing down Scotland’s total of 277/9.

With this victory, the Netherlands joins Sri Lanka as the second team to secure a place in the quadrennial showpiece event, hosted by India in October and November. This marks the Dutch team’s fifth appearance in the tournament, their first since 2011. Notably, de Leede’s fifth-wicket partnership of 113 runs with Saqib Zulfiqar (33 not out) played a crucial role in their team’s triumph.
