India vs Netherlands Preview Match 36 Dream11 Prediction
Netherlands walk into the lion’s den at Motera tonight on February 18! India vs Netherlands in Match 36 of the T20 World Cup 2026 looks brutally one-sided honestly.
Suryakumar’s India swept through their group without breaking a sweat – Pakistan, Namibia, USA all conquered impressively. Finishing unbeaten feels personal for this squad now completely.
Netherlands grabbed just one win against Namibia this whole tournament. Back-to-back losses against Pakistan and the USA crushed their confidence badly. Scott Edwards needs something miraculous from his boys tonight. One upset could still keep Dutch hopes alive in the T20 World Cup 2026 barely.
Pitch Report and Weather Update

Smart bowling lines combined with fielding placement can suffocate batsmen. However, exceptional talent overcomes big grounds through sheer strokeplay quality. One loose over concedes massive runs at this venue instantly. Zero rain interference with clear skies throughout today guaranteed.
