India will face the Dutch challenge on Diwali

India is set to face the Netherlands in the last league match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. While India is sitting at the top of the table, the Netherlands is languishing at the bottom end of the table but the latter has impressed the fans with their fighting spirit and their win against the strong South African team was a testament to it.
