Cricket World Cup: Netherlands’ veteran left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe believes India are going to be a very tough team to beat as the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup approaches its business end. His comments come after Netherlands ended their campaign with a 160-run loss to India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

India made 410/4, as KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer made centuries, with captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli making half-centuries. In reply, the Netherlands were bowled out for 250 in 47.5 overs, with Teja Nidamanuru being the only batter to get a fifty, and end the tournament at tenth place in the points table.

“Look, India is a very well-balanced side. They have match winners all the way through. They have shown it in this World Cup thus far. They are going to be a very tough team to beat.”
