India made one change from the side that beat Ireland by five wickets, bringing in left-arm seamer Ashish Nehra for Munaf Patel.
The Dutch included Bradley Kruger and Eric Szwarczynski in place of Bernard Loots and Berend Westdijk.
A victory for India in this day-night game will virtually assure them a place in the quarterfinals.
The Netherlands are yet to win a match in the tournament.
India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Piyush Chawla, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra.
Netherlands: Peter Borren (capt), Wesley Barresi, Mudassar Bukhari, Tom Cooper, Tom de Grooth, Alexei Kervezee, Bradley Kruger, Pieter Seelaar, Ryan ten Doeschate, Eric Szwarczynski, Bas Zuiderent.
Umpires: Steve Davis (AUS) and Bruce Oxenford (AUS)
TV umpire: Billy Doctrove (WIS)
Match referee: Ranjan Madugalle (SRI)
Pitch conditions: Big totals likely. But the low bounce and the slowness in the track, as was seen in the previous three matches played here, would keep the batsmen on their toes.
