IN-W vs NED-W LIVE Score: Netherlands have won the toss and they have decided to field first.

Deepti Sharma gives India exactly what modern T20 sides crave: control with the ball, flexibility with the bat and calm under pressure. Her off-spin is especially valuable because she can bowl inside the powerplay, through the middle overs and at high-pressure moments when India need a wicket or a quiet over. Against the Netherlands, Deepti’s all-round presence could decide how early India take command of the contest.

IN-W vs NED-W LIVE Score: Smriti Mandhana remains India’s tempo-setter at the top, and this is the kind of fixture where her role can shape the whole match. Since becomeing one of the most consistent left-hand openers in women’s cricket, Mandhana has often given India their cleanest starts by mixing timing with quick scoring. Against the Netherlands, India will want her to control the powerplay early and avoid letting the Dutch bowlers settle.

IND vs NED LIVE Score: India’s campaign is also a test of their squad balance. Harmanpreet Kaur leads a side with Smriti Mandhana as vice-captain, Shafali Verma’s power at the top, Jemimah Rodrigues’ control in the middle, Richa Ghosh’s finishing, and a spin-heavy core featuring Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav and Shreyanka Patil. Against the Netherlands, India will want that full structure, not just individual brilliance, to start clicking.
