  • This will be just the second men’s T20I clash between India and Netherlands, with the Men in Blue winning the previous game – which took place during ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 – by 56 runs.
  • India have lost just two of their last 21 men’s T20Is in Asia (W18 T1 L2), including wins in each of their last four such games in the format; the Men in Blue have won each of their last four men’s T20Is at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, including a 30-run victory against South Africa in December 2025.
  • India have never lost to an ICC associate member in men’s T20Is, winning each of their 14 such games in the format; nine of these wins have come in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, including the Men in Blue’s wins against USA (by 29 runs) and Namibia (by 93 runs) in this edition of the tournament.
  • Netherlands have lost each of their last eight men’s T20Is against full member ICC teams, with their last such win coming against South Africa during ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022; indeed, this win against the Proteas and a five-wicket win against Zimbabwe in the same edition are the Flying Dutchmen’s only two wins in the competition against ICC full members in the last 10 years (L11).
  • India bowlers have taken wickets at a strike rate of 13.8 during the middle overs (overs 7-16) in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the best such rate of any team in the competition in these overs; they have conceded runs at an economy rate of 6.03 in these overs, again the best of any team in this edition.
  • Netherlands openers haven’t stitched together a partnership of higher than 28 runs in their last five men’s T20Is, having put together 50+ run stands in each of their two games prior to this run in the format; the last time their openers put together a 50-run stand in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup game was against South Africa on 6 November 2022 (58 runs), a game the Flying Dutchmen went on to win.
  • Ishan Kishan is India’s highest run scorer in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup with 158 runs; his strike rate of 197.5 is on course the being the highest by any India batter in a single edition of the competition (min. 10 balls faced), while his batting average of 52.7 is on course to being the highest of any opener for the Men in Blue in a single edition.
  • Logan van Beek is the only Netherlands bowler to have taken a wicket in all of their three games in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 so far; Van Beek has taken a wicket in 11 games in the competition for the Flying Dutchmen with only Paul van Meekeren doing so more often (14 games).
  • Varun Chakaravarthy (India) has taken a wicket in each of his last 16 men’s T20Is including multiple wickets in each of his last two games; Chakaravarthy has taken 37 wickets at a strike rate of 10.2 in men’s T20Is in India, the best such rate of any bowler with at least 15 overs bowled in the format in the country.
  • Bas de Leede has scored 30.6% of Netherlands’ run in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, the highest such aggregate of any batter from an associate ICC member in the tournament; De Leede’s average of 62.5 so far in 2026 is on course to being the highest such aggregate for any batter for the Flying Dutchmen in a single edition of the competition.
