    The noise and atmosphere out there is incredible with the India supporters already.

    But it's a huge opportunity for one of the Dutch players to put in a performance. If you perform against India, big things can happen.

    Netherlands captain Scott Edwards: "We would had a bat as well but we're just as happy bowling first.

    "Our bowlers have been sensational all tournament so hopefully they can continue that and our batters can come out and perform today. We need to get some scores together."

    India captain Rohit Sharma: "Morale is really high, it's good to win a game like that [v Pakistan], it just takes your confidence to the next level but we understand that we have to stay calm.

    "It was just the first game of the tournament and plenty of things can happen. We just need to calm ourselves down and focus on the game at hand.

    "We said at the start of the tournament that we want to keep improving, no matter what the results are. It always stands you in good stead when you're thinking like that.

    "For us, it's important to keep ticking all of those boxes. We want to come out and play the cricket that we've set our standards for.

    On the pitch: "A touch slower than in Melbourne. The pitch has been used for 40 overs so I expect it'll be slower but we're used to playing on such tracks so it should be no different for us."

    Morning!

    Four days on from winning an absolute nail-biter against Pakistan - and potentially one of the great T20 World Cup games - India are back in action.

    They play the Netherlands, who lost their opening game and realistically must win to stand any chance of progressing to the semi-finals.

    Strap yourselves in - it should be fun.
