Women’s T20 World Cup debutants, the Netherlands, face a baptism of fire when they play an ambitious India in their second match of Group A. This match between the second-placed ‘Women in Blue’ and the fourth-placed ‘Lionesses’ will be played at Headingley in Leeds, where India start as heavy favourites. Will their top batter Smriti Mandhana help avoid a mishap?
India have two points after their 64-run win over Pakistan on Sunday in Birmingham, with only net run rate separating them from leaders Australia. The Netherlands lost by six wickets to Bangladesh on the same ground.
Mandhana’s 68 off 44 balls and cameos from Richa Ghosh and Harmanpreet Kaur lifted India to a competitive 170 for 6 against Pakistan. That proved to be enough in the chase, as Deepti Sharma (5 for 10) and Shree Charani (3 for 21) rolled out Pakistan for just 106. That was just their third win across the last nine T20Is, so India won’t be over-confident about their chances.
The Netherlands banked on captain Babette de Leede (50 off 45) to score 139 for 8, batting first on their World Cup debut. They took the chase until the last over, although Bangladesh eased to a win. The Lionesses could find the going tough, as five defeats in their last six T20Is hint at the challenges ahead.

Our India vs Netherlands Prediction
India brushed aside arch-rivals Pakistan for a comfortable win to start their tournament. Debutants Netherlands ran Bangladesh close, but their inexperience showed in the six-wicket loss in the final over of the chase. India have a crucial game against South Africa up next, which could potentially be a shoot-out for the second spot. They can’t afford to lose here, and the markets agree by installing them as heavy favourites.
We are digging into their top batter Smriti Mandhana’s stats, and our India vs Netherlands prediction is Smriti Mandhana over 29.5 runs.
