India vs Netherlands
After beating Pakistan in the opening match, the Indian team is full of confidence and will look to register a second win in the Super 12 stage. While Virat Kohli was firing on cylinders, the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and Co will loom at the fixture as the perfect opportunity to find their form. This will be the first time these two teams meet in the T20I format.
The match will begin at 12:30 PM IST at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday (October 27).

South Africa vs Bangladesh
The early star on the day will see South Africa face Bangladesh after their match against Zimbabwe was abandoned due to rain. The result saw them drop a point, while another such scenario will see them lose grip in the group with catch-up to be played. Bangladesh on the flip side will look to strengthen their grip in the group after they won by 9 runs against the Netherlands in their opening match.
The match will begin at 8:30 AM IST at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday (October 27).
The late start on the day will see Pakistan face Zimbabwe at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Both teams will look for their first win of the tournament in the Super 12 stage with huge permutations lying in front of them if the match gets washed out. Pakistan lost to India in the opening match saw them drop 2 valuable points while Zimbabwe got a point after their match was washed out.
