The schedule of some matches has been changed a day or two earlier, while some have been moved forward for 1 or 2 days.Last league match against NetherlandsTeam India can get help due to match reschedule. Actually the Indian team will play the last league match against the Netherlands. This match was earlier to be played on November 11, which will now be played on November 12 and changing the date of this match can help Team India. This match is the last league stage match of the tournament. In such a situation, both the teams will know what they need to do to reach the semi-finals.Net runrate importantIf both the teams are in the middle of the table and there is hope of reaching the top 4 of both, then in such a situation the team will know that by how many runs and how many balls it needs to win first. So that net runrate can be improved. Net runrate is also very important in the tournament. In the previous three editions, teams have also been out of the tournament due to net run rate. In the last World Cup, both New Zealand and Pakistan had the same 11-11 points, but New Zealand got the advantage of better net runrate.
