Netherlands chose to bat on a Feroz Shah Kotla track expected to have plenty of runs against an Indian side looking to become the first team to confirm their place in the quarter-finals.
India made one surprising change to their line-up, bringing back Ashish Nehra for Munaf Patel, deciding against giving their injury-prone spearhead Zaheer Khan a rest. They also persisted with legspinner Piyush Chawla, who had such an awful game against Ireland that he was booed by the Bangalore crowd, and kept offspinner R Ashwin on the bench.
Netherlands made a couple of changes to their XI, which was thrashed by South Africa, bringing in batsman Eric Szwarczynski and Bradley Kruger, leaving out Berend Westdijk and Bernard Loots.
India: 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Yusuf Pathan, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Piyush Chawla, 11 Ashish Nehra
Netherlands: 1 Alexei Kervezee, 2 Wesley Barresi (wk), 3 Tom Cooper, 4 Ryan ten Doeschate, 5 Bas Zuiderent, 6 Tom de Grooth, 7 Eric Szwarczynski, 8 Peter Borren (capt), 9 Mudassar Bukhari, 10 Pieter Seelaar, 11Bradley Kruger
