In his unbeaten 51 off 56 balls – featuring two sixes and eight fours – Virat Kohli managed 594 runs over nine matches; surpassing South Africa’s Quinton de Kock as tournament’s leading run scorer; but unfortunately missed his 71st ODI century when bowled by Roelof van der Merwe.
The Netherlands struggled to remain in contention and regularly lost wicket. Sybrand Engelbrecht (43) and Teja Nidamanuru (54) were the only batsmen who made an impressionful contribution for them before falling away against India’s bowling variety, featuring Jasprit Bumrah (2-33) and Mohammed Siraj (2-39) sharing four wickets to put an end to this game in its final overs. India used nine different bowlers during their innings – equalling the record for most bowlers used by any side in an ODI World Cup innings!
Netherlands 250/10 (Teja Nidamanuru 54)
The final group stage match between both teams was an extraordinary showcase of cricket at its best, featuring big sixes, cunning bowling, and an electric atmosphere. Above all else, however, it served as a powerful reminder of why we love this sport so much — because it brings people together while sparking passions.
India looked set for an historic victory at this tournament as they cruised towards victory with ease, led by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s fearless and powerful batting lineup, supported by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja’s disciplined bowling attack.
India won the toss and elected to bat first, opening with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill who got off to an explosive start putting on 91 runs in 11.5 overs with their aggressive strokeplay putting Dutch bowlers under immense pressure; Gill hit three fours and four sixes during his rapid 51-ball innings before being caught at square leg by Paul van Meekeren.
KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer also made fifties as India accumulated 411. It was their second-highest total ever at World Cup level after their 413-4 against Bermuda in 2007.
Netherlands began their reply poorly. Wesley Barresi was dismissed for four by Jadeja within the first over, while Max ODowd and Collin Ackermann struggled to keep pace with the run rate.
Teja Nidamanuru responded with an incredible 54 off 39 balls that included one four and six sixes – giving the Dutch fans something to cheer about before being caught by Rohit Sharma’s bowling.
Roelof van der Merwe made late headway with 16 off eight balls – including two fours and a six. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to keep pace with India’s total of 250/10 in 47.5 overs, leading to their innings ending at 250/10 in 48 overs.
Netherlands may have finished at the bottom of their group, but their performances in this tournament will not soon be forgotten. They shocked South Africa and Bangladesh while remaining an intimidating force throughout. When they returned home with pride they left an indelible mark on cricket history; we wish them every success going forward and thank them for providing memories! Thank you Netherlands!
India won by 160 runs
Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul scored centuries as India defeated Netherlands by 160 runs at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, ending Group Stage with nine victories out of nine and earning them a semi-final matchup against New Zealand on Wednesday.
Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first on an opening stand of 100 with Shubman Gill that featured both scoring half centuries off Paul van Meekeren before Shubman Gill was dismissed with Paul van Meekeren catching him out at square leg, leaving Rohit alone on his way to recording an unprecedented record-extending 61st ODI century.
Iyer and Rahul then collaborated quickly to build an enormous total, sharing 208 for the fourth wicket – their most productive partnership in World Cup ODIs as well as being their fastest 50-over game at any World Cup tournament.
The Netherlands struggled to keep pace with Rohit’s run rate and regularly lost wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja bowlers used by Rohit made up part-timers; Kuldeep took two wickets to finish with figures of 2-34 while Ravindra Jadeja made an instantaneous 2-1 off his first over as hosts finished on 410-4.
It took the Netherlands more than four overs to score 250 runs against India – well short of their tournament-best score of 205 against Afghanistan the previous match – and were only allowed eight sixes during this matchup.
Even though Netherlands only scored a low total, their batting showed signs of improvement. Though Wesley Barresi was out early, Max O’Dowd and Colin Ackermann combined for a 61-run stand for the first wicket which offered hope of recovery.
But in the final stages, their batting disintegrated as they were all out for just 249 runs with Teja Nidamanuru leading their charge with 54 off 65 balls.
Dutch team have now fallen to bottom of Group B table following defeat against South Africa and Bangladesh but earned great acclaim for their spirited fightbacks against both teams, earning them praise along the way. Their lessons included that in order to compete with top teams they must have more than a handful of top players.
It is still disappointing as they missed an opportunity to win their inaugural World Cup game; next week however they face Sri Lanka for one last group matchup and could use that game as a platform to show how far this underachieving group has come along way since then!
