The India vs Netherlands match is the last Group A game in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. While there is nothing more special remaining for this group, after Pakistan secured their Super Eight qualification after beating Namibia, both India and the Netherlands are still taking the match seriously to check their squads' calibre. 

India have already qualified for the Super Eight stage, as they beat the United States of America, Namibia, and Pakistan by 29 runs, 93 runs, and 61 runs, respectively. 

Meanwhile, the Netherlands almost stunned Pakistan in the opening game of the tournament, where Pakistan won the match by three wickets with three balls remaining from 29 runs required in the last 12 balls. In their next game, the Netherlands won by seven wickets against Namibia but suffered a 93-run defeat against the United States of America. 

India and the Netherlands are facing each other on Wednesday evening (February 18) at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
