The Netherlands will have a steep mountain to climb when they face in-form India here on Sunday, but for all-rounder Logan van Beek the match offers a chance to change the career path of Dutch players.
Van Beek has taken 12 wickets from seven matches, two behind leader and fellow pacer Bas de Leede.

"Yes, it is a little bit of nerve-wracking but also exciting. You know, it is a chance for us...one, if the boys are able to beat them then it is a massive upset and two, some of the guys can have amazing individual performances and change the trajectory of their careers," Van Beek said.
While admiring the performance of Indian pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, who have together taken 41 wickets in the event, Van Beek was aware of the challenge of tackling them. "Bumrah, Shami and Siraj, they have been awesome to watch and it is going to be pretty tough facing them on Sunday. They are very unique in their bowling styles, but it is their consistency and the relentlessness that I admire a lot.
"That's what I am trying to learn watching them, bowling with their energy and skills consistently," he noted.
The 33-year-old is soaking in the whole Indian experience and is quite amazed at the consistency shown by Rohit Sharma's band, which he said was an eye-opener for the Netherlands.
