India v Netherlands: Live Cricket Scores and Updates

It is the 25th match of the Cricket World Cup 2011 tournament, India vs. Netherlands, and we are here to provide you with live cricket scores, commentary, updates and live streams. India have a lot to celebrate – so far, in this ICC Cricket World Cup tournament, they have been undefeated, whereas Netherlands have already lost two of their World Cup games, to Sri Lanka and England. Today’s game should be a no brainer, but the Cricket World Cup 2011 has already produced a few surprises, including Ireland’s victory against England, and yesterday’s, where New Zealand defeated Pakistan.

The match will be held at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, India. India, playing home, has a clear advantage over Netherlands. They know the field, India’s fortress in Test cricket. But Netherlands are not that easily discouraged. Yet they don’t really know their strengths and weaknesses. So far, India and Netherlands met only once, in 2003 at Paarl, where India won by 68 runs.

This year, after a tie with England and a hard fought win against Ireland, India hope to defeat Netherlands in their quest for glory, before the highly-anticipated showdown against South Africa on Saturday. On the other hand, Netherlands enter the game with a cocky attitude:

“Sachin is a legend and on top of his game in the World Cup, and he is someone everyone around here in the tournament and people like us look to play against. He is a great player,” said Netherlands’ skipper Peter Borren in a press conference before the match. “But at the same time he is a batsman who can be dismissed like other batsmen and we are looking forward to that. Any of our bowlers having the opportunity to dismiss him and that will be a great entertainment.”

CWC 2011 - India vs Netherlands ICC Cricket world cup 2011

More than 20 million watch Americans India vs Netherlands have multiple ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 Social Security numbers online (SSNs) associated score with their highlights name in commercial records according to a new study announced in December from ID Analytics, Inc. The study found that rather than serving as a unique identifier, more than 40 million SSNs are associated with multiple people.

6.1 percent of Americans have at least two SSNs associated with their name. More than 100,000 Americans have five or more SSNs associated with their name.

Dr. Stephen Coggeshall, chief technology officer, at ID Analytics said. “Most of these cases of duplication are likely due to simple data entry errors as opposed to deliberate falsification. Nevertheless, organizations expose themselves and their customers to risk if they solely rely on the SSN to verify an individual.”

ID Analytics analyzed 290 million Social Security numbers, and found that 1 in 7 are associated with more than one name. Anywhere from 3-4 million names are directly used to commit fraud.

MSNBC reported the same study showed 140,000 SSNs are connected to 5 or more people and 27,000 SSNs are connected to 10 or more people.

Some of these secondary SSNs are the result of typos where an administrator may incorrectly enter a digit and then that secondary SSN is now connected to a person’s credit going forward.

In other cases it is deliberate fraud. When the same person is shown using multiple Social Security numbers on purpose then a flag is raised.

Consumers often find out their SSN is compromised as a result of being denied credit or when bill collectors call them for non payment.

Skipper MS Dhoni seems to favour chasing on good batting wickets after the tied England game.

Netherlands could spring a surprise and put India in just to make them uncomfortable.

Team News

India: Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Ashish Nehra

After an uncomfortable win over Ireland, Piyush Chawla’s place is under threat and could be replaced by Ashish Nehra.

Holland: Alexei Kervezee, Waesley Barresi, Tom Cooper, Bas Zuiderent, Ryan ten Doeschate, Tom de Grooth, Peter Borren, Mudassar Bukhari, Pieter Seelaar, Bernanrd Loots, Berend Westjidk

Holland will field their strongest side unless there is a last-minute injury concern.

Prediction

India’s World Cup campaign might not be as smooth as they would have liked but they are still too strong for Holland.

The batsmen are in form and though the bowling is a worry, the Dutch batsmen will not be asking many questions of them.

Holland will be hoping that they can negotiate Zaheer Khan without much damage and then look to get runs off the other bowlers.

India to win by a country mile.

Key Men

Zaheer Khan – His guile will be too much for the Dutch to handle.

Ryan ten Doeschate – Easily their best player with bat or ball.

After a neck to neck fight with Irish players India moves to its capital to conquer Dutch. MS Dhoni’s men are set to have a relief win after a couple of breath taking matches against England and Ireland. Netherlands would be a stepping stone for Indians to leap into the quarter finals easily.

All eyes are set on Sachin Tendulkar who is just 18 runs away from a record 2000-run landmark in World Cups. Cricket world hoped the little blaster should have crossed it against Ireland. But as usual Sachin decided to break and erect records with a lot of patience.

The match at Delhi is expected to draw a huge crowd of 42000 who may cheer for the Deli trio, Sehwag, Gambir and Kohli. Among these three big hitters Gambir is the only batsman to find a century while Sehwag has no memorable innings at home so far.

Still the fans of men in blue here in home and away expect a Diwali like cracks from probably the best batting line up of the world. Five out of the top seven batsmen has already hit either a ton or half while captain Dhoni and Yusuf Pathan always try to blaze.

Netherlands on the other hand has lost all of their World Cup matches so far and approved their title as minnows of the mega event. Ryan ten Doeschate is the only player to score a century in this WC while Tom Cooper only past 50.

However, Dhoni s not ready to take the game as a practicing session. So far we have had a good game, a tight game and a close game. We have shown signs of improvement. What we need now is an easy win," Indian captain said before the match.
