T20 World Cup 2026: 5 records that can be broken in today’s India vs Netherlands match


India and the Netherlands will face off in the Group A clash of the T20 World Cup 2026. The game will be played on Wednesday, February 18, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

India are through to the Super 8s, having won all three of their games in the T20 World Cup 2026 so far. Therefore, this match will be an opportunity for them to experiment and fine-tune the side heading into the next round.

For the Netherlands, their chances of qualifying appear slim at the moment. They will first have to hope that Namibia beats Pakistan in their last Group A match and then themselves defeat India by a big margin to finish second and qualify.

That said, let us take a look at five records that can be broken in today’s T20 World Cup 2026 clash between India and the Netherlands.


#5 Highest team total between India and Netherlands in T20Is

India and the Netherlands have played each other in only one T20I previously, which was during the 2022 T20 World Cup. The Men in Blue won the game comfortably by 56 runs. Batting first, they scored 179/2, which is the highest team total in T20Is between the two sides.

As they meet again in 2026, the record for the highest team total between these two sides in the format can be broken, given that Ahmedabad is a high-scoring venue. The team likely to break this record is India, who will back themselves to post a bigger total this time around.


#4 Highest team total in T20Is at the Narendra Modi Stadium

India holds the record for the highest team total in T20Is at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. They put up a massive total of 234/4 against New Zealand in 2023.

As they face the Netherlands at the same venue in the T20 World Cup 2026, they can look to go beyond the 234-run mark if their star batters like Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya, among others, fire in unison.


#3 Fastest team hundred at the T20 World Cup

India also currently holds the record for the fastest team hundred at the T20 World Cup. They achieved the feat in the ongoing edition itself, during their game against Namibia, where they reached the mark in just 6.5 overs.

With an explosive batting line-up and powerful hitters at the top, plus the Ahmedabad wicket being batting-friendly, the Men in Blue can look to better their own record.


#2 Most wickets between India and Netherlands in T20Is

The record for the most wickets in T20Is between the two teams is shared by four Indian bowlers at the moment. During their only clash in the 2022 T20 World Cup, all of Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up two wickets apiece.

With Axar and Arshdeep part of the current team in the 2026 edition, either of the two could break this record by bagging just one wicket at the least.


#1 Most runs in T20Is between India and Netherlands

The record for the most runs in T20Is between India and the Netherlands is held by Virat Kohli. During their meeting in the 2022 T20 World Cup, he scored an unbeaten 62.

Notably, his 62* off 44 balls, which included three boundaries and two sixes, is also the highest individual score by a player between the two teams in T20Is.

India skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who had scored an unbeaten 51 off 25 balls in their previous meeting, can break the record for the most runs by scoring at least 12 runs in the upcoming game. He could also go on to break the highest individual score record by bettering Kohli’s knock.
