After the coin flip went India’s way, the Netherlands would have known that they were🎉 in for a tough afternoon but even they would not have imagined the carnage that was coming their way. Having managed to score 91 in the first powerpla🧸y, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill could build on the start as the latter fell to a brilliant Teja Nidamanuru catch four balls after scoring a 30-ball fifty. Rohit and Kohli followed his lead by taking the walk back after reaching the 50-run milestone leaving India with a score of 200/3 in 28.4 overs. While Iyer and Rahul managed to add just 84 more runs as the second powerplay came to an end, they were on the brink of unleashing some serious power hitting. Not only did the duo manage to add 124 more runs, both brought up their centuries with Rahul’s coming off just 62 balls - the fastest by an Indian in World Cup history.
With the ball, India got off to their usual quick start with Siraj scalping the veteran Wesley Barresi in the second over. However, that was as good as it got for the Indians in the powerplay as the Dutch managed to score 62 by the end of the powerplay with no additional damage. With the spinners introduced, the scoring rate dropped dramatically as Kuldeep trapped Colin Ackermann plumb in front before Jadeja castled Max ODowd. Scott Edwards and Engelbrecht tried to stabilize the innings at the expense of the run rate but India found the breakthrough from the most unusual source - Kohli. India decided to bowl part timers in the form of Gill and Suryakumar Yadav as well with the Netherlands showing no real intent to chase down the target. With 221 needed off the last ten overs, Nidamanuru continued to hold on to one end as wickets crumbled at the other. Nidamanuru did score his maiden World Cup half century but the Dutch fell short by 160 runs.Rohit making sure a Happy Diwali for his fans
Wicket for Rohit Sharma.
