OUT! Caught. Logan van Beek to Hardik Pandya. Off cutter length ball, wide outside off stump moves in front Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, caught by van der Merwe. India finish well to post a strong total of 193. Aryan Dutt gave the Netherlands the perfect start removing both openers in the powerplay, but the middle order stepped up in style. Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav steadied the innings and shifted the momentum back in India's favour with some classy stroke play. Just when the innings needed acceleration, Shivam Dube unleashed a breathtaking knock. In the death overs, Hardik Pandya applied the finishing touches, perfectly clever placement, brute power, and smart running between the wickets ensured India squeezed every possible run out of the final overs. Credit to the Netherlands bowlers, who kept things tight in the first half and didn't allow India to run away with the game. However, their execution at the backend faltered slightly, and India capitalised in style. Dutt was the pick of the bowlers, whilst Logan van Beek took three wickets, but was expensive. Stay tuned for the chase.

FOUR! Shivam Dube to Logan van Beek. Half volley, wide outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. India win by 17 runs to complete a perfect group stage record. Chasing a tough target, the Netherlands top order all made starts, but none could go on to make the match winning score, and they were always behind the required rate. Bas de Leede made 33 whilst five others fell in the 20s. Indian bowlers excelled with their precise line and lengths. Varun Chakaravarthy was outstanding with his googly deliveries, taking three wickets, well backed up as Shivam Dube's two as India tested out some new combinations ahead of the Super 8s. Shivam Dube was named Player of the Match for his all-around contributions.
