00:30And they take on a Netherlands side who've had a difficult tournament, but they will be hoping to cause an
00:36upset as they have done on a number of occasions in the past. India won the toss and there was
00:45a big cheer when Suryakumar Yadav said, we will have a bat.
00:51Well, two changes in this Indian team from the game that played against Pakistan.
00:55Ishaan Kishan and Abhishek will continue to open the batting.
00:59So up the batting order, there is not much change over there, but the Washington Subda comes in place of
01:04Akshar Patel and you have Arsteep coming in place of Kuldeep.
01:08So it's a very well balanced team, this batting bowling.
01:10The Netherlands have made one change.
01:13Now Akroos comes in for Fred Klaassen, the skipper.
01:17Scott Edwards, 50th game as captain.
01:19First Netherlands player to do that, achieve that.
01:22And he'll want to make it special.
01:25This man on screen, Ishaan Kishan, has been in fabulous form.
01:36Arian Dutt, the off spinner, as ever.
01:38They're going to start with a bit of off spin, the match up to the two left handers.
01:45Well, if I'm in the Netherlands, I'm tight in that ring.
01:48Two ducks don't let him have an easy single, however much you've got runs in the past.
01:55Gone, three ducks in a row, would you believe it?
01:58The number one batter in this format starts nought, nought, nought.
02:05This is the pitch where there won't be much turn.
02:07You can see the way the ball has skidded pretty quickly.
02:09It's played right across the line of the ball.
02:11And it's hit the top of the legstum.
02:13It's a very good move by Netherlands to start with a spinner against Abhishek Sharma.
02:19India have lost their first cricket without a run on the ball.
02:22Tilak Rama comes in again early.
02:27In the slot, and I reckon that's gone all the way.
02:32That's the kind of batter Tilak Rama is very, very confident.
02:35He saw that in the previous over.
02:37Second ball he played, looked for the reverse sweep.
02:39Now plays this lofted straight drive.
02:46And from a man out of Nick to a man in form.
02:52Try and hit it down the ground, and that's the best option.
02:57There you are.
02:59There's a deep square leg, and there's what you would call a deep third man for the reverse sweep.
03:04So this shot is definitely on.
03:08Full toss.
03:09And that's belted.
03:13And he's dispatched it without any problems.
03:16Not an easy shot to play over extra cover for a six.
03:18But he's done that.
03:22Fine sweep.
03:23And they won't run.
03:24He's just hurt himself there.
03:26He might have just nipped the ankle bone.
03:32That's gone high leg side, just short of the boundary.
03:41He knows that the fielder is at square leg, so he's hit it too well away from that fielder.
03:47This is the shot that he plays so well.
03:54Now, as he just dragged that on, I think he has a little bit of luck there.
03:59Isshank Isshank cannot believe what's happened.
04:02Dutt has two in the power play.
04:04The ball bounced maybe off the pads.
04:07Let's have a look.
04:08Yes, exactly.
04:10That it's come off his arm.
04:13Bounced off the pads, onto his arm, and then onto the stumps.
04:17Unlucky for him.
04:19Lucky for Netherlands.
04:20Gone for 18 and 39 for two.
04:31Sweetly timed.
04:32It's racing across the outfield.
04:34And beats the man in the deep.
04:41That's up in the air.
04:42It's a long boundary.
04:44A fielder coming underneath it.
04:46And drops it.
04:50Ball deliveries.
04:52Looking to purposely hit that up and over the field for six.
04:57Oh, the noise behind me.
04:59Went reverse cup and then he went probably half a step too far back and then it went out of
05:04his reach.
05:07He's got that away.
05:08Just giving himself a little bit of room.
05:11But this is good bowling.
05:16We just touched on that before to me, Ravi.
05:18Just the fact that they're looking to go that slower ball just gives himself enough room.
05:22And it's the energy to be able to lift that up and over.
05:28That's in the air.
05:29Another opportunity.
05:31And this time taken.
05:33An excellent catch.
05:37Excellent execution in this over.
05:39That wider line to Tillock, which has got him out on a number of occasions.
05:43But watch this catch from the veteran.
05:46Watching it all the way.
05:47Reverse cup.
05:48Oh, a bit of air.
05:50Do we dare say that's the catch of the tournament so far?
05:54Tillock Vama.
05:56On for 31.
05:5669 for three.
05:58Shivam Dube.
05:59Comes out.
06:00Left-hander replacing left-hander.
06:05There we go.
06:06He's eyeing up that short side.
06:09That's the first boundary in 19 balls.
06:11And there was nothing tentative about it.
06:13It was on leg stump.
06:15And he treats them badly when it goes on that leg stump.
06:19Sends it a distance.
06:22Shivam Dube is facing now.
06:24So he's going to target the leg side as well.
06:26India just ticking now.
06:28Six from Surya Kumar Yadav.
06:29Now on from Shivam Dube there on the march.
06:33Was ready for it this time.
06:35His front foot out of the way.
06:38And just brought his bat through the line there.
06:41And he hits it.
06:44He's going leg side again.
06:46It's a sweet, sweet hit into the crowd.
06:51He's got a lovely swing of the bat.
06:54As you say, he clears that front side that allows the bat to come through.
06:58But beautiful, rhythmic swing of the blade.
07:06Gone.
07:07He's eyeing up that short side.
07:09And no mistake this time.
07:11There was no short fine leg.
07:12There was long leg.
07:13And exactly for this shot.
07:17Klein bowling that length.
07:18And full this time.
07:21Because of which Surya Kumar Yadav couldn't get any elevation there.
07:27India's captain has gone 110 for four.
07:30Halfway through the 14th.
07:31As Hardik Pandya comes to the crease.
07:38Oh, that's easy pickings.
07:40A waist-high full toss that deserved to be hit.
07:43And he belted it.
07:51That's six more.
07:52This time Hardik Pandya.
07:54He tried to go full.
07:56He tried to get it under Hardik Pandya's bat.
07:58But it was around about a foot short.
08:01And belted it into the crowd.
08:06That's massive.
08:08Gets way back into the crowd.
08:11Yeah, another cutter.
08:12You see what I mean there.
08:14He's just waiting for it.
08:17Got to mix it up.
08:19If every ball's a cutter, it's like facing a spinner.
08:21And we know what Dubé does to spin.
08:26Clean airs.
08:31Right in his arc.
08:33Again, waiting for that cutter.
08:37Look at that follow-through.
08:39The bat almost hits its back on the way through.
08:41It is a full swing.
08:43That is for certain.
08:48This time through the offside.
08:50Ball racing away.
08:51That's beautifully timed.
08:53Brilliant 50 this from Shivam Dubé.
08:5620 runs coming off that last over.
08:58As India go past 150.
09:01It's 153 for four.
09:04Van Beek tried everything.
09:06He tried to hide it outside off stump.
09:07But even that just got nailed.
09:10Brilliant half-century from Dubé.
09:12You see the first in the World Cup cricket.
09:19That's big from Hardik.
09:22But generally sides have bowled it into the pitch to Hardik Pandya.
09:26But they've bowled it into the pitch so much over the years.
09:30He's got used to it.
09:31And he just belts it out the ground.
09:33That's gone over long, long.
09:35That is power.
09:41That's up in the air and over long off.
09:44Hardik is not your normal batter at this stage.
09:48To hit this ball over long off takes absolute strength and power and skill.
09:57That's on the full.
09:59And it's cleared the fence.
10:04That is not far away from being a decent Yorker.
10:07But it's dispatched for a six.
10:09Stand and deliver.
10:13Oh, six more.
10:15No taken in the deep.
10:16That's nicely judged.
10:18Stepped over the fence but made sure the ball was back in play.
10:22Keep rolling.
10:24It's taken inside boundary there.
10:26Looking to see if the toddler owner is moving.
10:30Let's see.
10:31He releases the ball there.
10:33Steps out of the field of play.
10:36And gets back in.
10:38Yeah, I'm ready to make my decision for the big screen.
10:40And that's a really good catch.
10:42So close to the rope.
10:44But a superb innings.
10:46Really.
10:4766 from 31.
10:56Oh, that's big hit.
10:57It's the long boundary.
10:59It doesn't matter.
11:01Longest boundary.
11:04Not far away from the car.
11:09Swings.
11:11Should be taken in the deep.
11:13Yes, nicely judged.
11:15So India finishing after 20 overs.
11:19193 for six.
11:21And they'll be pretty happy with that effort.
11:26Netherlands kept going well in the field.
11:28Vandermeerva has the perfect technique for catching the high ball.
11:31Fingers pointing up.
11:33Taking it around about head high.
11:35Very strong Indian batting line up.
11:38Plenty of sixes.
11:38Plenty of boundaries.
11:40Tilak made 31.
11:41Good partnership with Surya Kumar.
11:43But it was Shivam Dove who really stood up high.
11:46That's what the Netherlands need.
11:48They need 194 runs to win.
11:51And they've got 20 overs to get that.
11:54It's focus on the Netherlands batting now.
11:57And of course, this outstanding India bowling attack,
12:00which offers variety and potency.
12:04Levitt and O'Dowd have a task on their hand here.
12:08Will Arsdeep find any swing?
12:12We'll soon find out.
12:18As he does, but it swung too much, surely.
12:21It's a beautiful in-swinger, but it started quite straight
12:24and would have gone on to miss leg stump.
12:29Swinging on a better line, but too full.
12:32And that is a gorgeous straight drive from Michael Levitt.
12:36That'll give him confidence.
12:39Levitt stayed leg side of the ball this time.
12:42Just brought the bat down through very cleanly.
12:45Nice piece of timing on that.
12:51Wide of slip.
12:53Genuine edge.
12:54And it's hurried away to the fence.
12:5611.
13:00Goes leg side, O'Dowd.
13:01He's done that well because he's got it behind square.
13:04The men out on the leg side are in front of square.
13:08So this will give O'Dowd some confidence.
13:11Yeah, he backed away just before he delivered.
13:15And Washington followed him.
13:17And with no deep square leg,
13:19all he had to do is hit the ball in the air in that direction.
13:22He's going to get 4 of 6.
13:27Like that.
13:29That's when misses.
13:31Chakrabotly hits.
13:33And strikes straight away like he often does.
13:39Which gave himself some room outside that leg stump.
13:42Max O'Dowd.
13:44Is it about looking to hit straight, Ravi?
13:46Maybe just a bit too extra cover on this occasion.
13:50Cramped him up for room as well.
13:53And he loves to stay leg side.
13:55A big hoyk at the bat.
13:57I doubt he's gone for 20.
13:5835 for one.
14:01Passed the lady.
14:02The new man in.
14:08That'll be 4.
14:09He can use Washington's pace if you stay back.
14:11Because he fires it in.
14:19That's a good catch.
14:22Yes, weighted, weighted, judged it to perfection.
14:28Washington's under the man.
14:29So hard deck striking.
14:32Yeah, into the wicket.
14:34Maybe just slightly rolled his fingers over the ball.
14:36Come out slower than he expected.
14:38Good composure.
14:41Nice athleticism on the boundary rope.
14:43He leaves it out for 24, 51 for two, the Netherlands.
14:47So Ackermann out there.
14:51So eight of the over and a wicket.
14:5352 for two.
14:58That's high.
14:59It's long.
15:01And that sails into the crowd.
15:06Just talked about his aggressive play.
15:08Just a wobble seam.
15:09Angle back in.
15:10Nice and still at the crease.
15:12It's the second six so far in this inning.
15:15So I'll need a few more of those to keep up.
15:20As he eyes up a six to the leg side here, Colin Ackerman.
15:24And he's given this a mighty clout.
15:27Abhishek looking to get the ball to turn.
15:29He's given a bit of air.
15:30Hoping there would be a bit of mistiming.
15:32But it wasn't there.
15:33It really has been hammered very nicely by Ackerman.
15:40That's a shot that could be out of the Surya Kumar Yadav playbook.
15:45Brilliantly played.
15:50Now it's not gone far enough.
15:53I fancy Rinku Singh out there.
15:56The safe hands.
15:58And Colin Ackerman's innings comes to a close.
16:02Netherlands lose their third.
16:04But the way both these batters had accelerated in the last couple of overs.
16:09The over from Abhishek Sharma and the over from Shivam Dubey.
16:12That forced Surya Kumar Yadav to bring his magic bowler to Warren Chakravarti.
16:19And he delivers off the first ball to break that partnership.
16:22Ackerman gone for 23 in 94 for three.
16:31And he doesn't miss the stumps.
16:34He is stump to stump, rarely misses.
16:36When you miss, he hits.
16:39Chakravarti strikes again.
16:41You would see a slightly longer run-up than what generally spinners have.
16:45And then he bolts his back of the hand, googly.
16:47It turns it up.
16:48And for somebody who's coming to play the first ball,
16:51that's a pretty ambitious shot, one has to say.
16:55Gone for a first ball.
16:57That's Aryan Dutt, it's 94 for four.
17:01Scott Edwards, the captain, in the middle.
17:06Lovely shot.
17:07Scott Edwards just eyeing up the field.
17:10He knows exactly what Shivam Dubey is going to bowl wide outside the off stump.
17:18We've been blessed.
17:20And that one flies over the boundary rope.
17:23So Netherlands, they're not giving up.
17:25They're going to keep running it at India here in the middle overs.
17:33Gone, got him.
17:35Yeah, side relief for Shivam Dubey.
17:39It was a good catch.
17:40It flew pretty quickly.
17:42And a good field positioning set by the skipper there.
17:46Yes.
17:48Because if there was going to be a thick outside edge,
17:51it was going to go flying in that region.
17:55Okay, the batters are throwing their bats at just about every delivery.
18:00Looking to get maximum.
18:02Good catch.
18:03Good, sharp catch by Varun Chakravarti.
18:06How do you find it quite delighted with that?
18:09It's the fifth wicket guard, the lead.
18:12Gone for 33, it's under 12 for five, after 14.
18:18Zach Leon cachet then at number seven.
18:25Another slower ball.
18:26He was waiting for that Edwards.
18:29Reverse scoop for four.
18:32Well done.
18:34Great head position.
18:35Watch the ball exceptionally well.
18:39There is the attempted sweep.
18:43And on this occasion, he misses.
18:45And when you miss against Bumrah, you are in trouble.
18:51Tried this shot once too many.
18:55Did Edwards play successfully against Shivam Dubey?
18:59What about the dismissal of Edwards?
19:01125 for six.
19:08Oh, just got on it.
19:09Just got on it.
19:10It was full.
19:12Off stump was the line.
19:15And he just, at the last second, caught up with it.
19:22And now the other way.
19:24Nutmegs himself inside edge.
19:26And we'll get a boundary on the leg side.
19:29They needed that.
19:32That's a lovely shot.
19:34It really is.
19:36Got into that shot so late.
19:39But the approach to it, so good and so correct.
19:44Head low.
19:45Hands are low.
19:46Gets right under it, even though it was a full ball.
19:49Nicely done by Crows.
19:51Not a slower ball.
19:53And that's been slapped.
19:54That could go all the way.
19:56I think it has done.
19:59Transfer of the body weight.
20:01Shot into the stumps.
20:03Knew what the field was.
20:04So played to the field.
20:08Nicely done from Leon Goucher.
20:15Wide.
20:16This will take some catching.
20:17They leave it to each other.
20:19Mind out.
20:19Mind out.
20:21I hope he's okay.
20:23But that was a recipe for disaster.
20:27One pointed at the other.
20:28They both looked at each other.
20:31Everyone hopes that Surya Kumar Yadav is fine.
20:34We've seen some horrible collisions over the years.
20:39He called it.
20:41Immediately told Rinko to wait.
20:44Paul obviously swirling.
20:45And he caught it on his chest.
20:48Luckily no collision between the two.
20:51I felt straight on his chest.
20:53Just above the solar plexus.
20:54Which is why he was down for a bit.
21:00This time man in the deep.
21:01Diving forward.
21:03Puts it down.
21:04Two and two.
21:05Dropped.
21:07Tillak in the deep.
21:12You could see him adjusting.
21:14He was backing away first.
21:16And then started running towards the ball.
21:19He wasn't stable enough when that ball reached him.
21:24Will it be three and three?
21:28No.
21:29It's the safe hands of Washington Sundar.
21:31Leave it to me.
21:32I'll show you how to catch.
21:35Did everything right to take the catch.
21:38Pulling the nice lines here.
21:40Just outside the off stump.
21:42Forcing the batter.
21:44To try and get under the ball.
21:46Washington still big base, stable, easy catch.
21:52Well, Cachet played well.
21:5426 from 16.
21:56172 for seven.
21:57Two balls to go.
22:00Wide Yorker that has been nailed for four.
22:03But India will not worry.
22:05That is another win for the holders of this title.
22:10That is 12 games in a row they've won in T20 World Cup cricket.
22:16Still room for improvement.
22:18But performances are coming from different players at different times.
22:23And they are the side to beat again in this men's T20 World Cup.
22:30Pretty good effort again from the Netherlands.
22:33Their batting improved.
22:34That's what needed to improve.
22:35We all felt 180 was around about par.
22:38They end up 176 for seven.
22:42Indian captain, Surya Kumar Yadav, won the toss and said, we will have a bat.
22:47And they made 193 for six.
22:50Shivandube, 66.
22:53The skipper himself, 34.
22:55Tilak made 31.
22:56Hardik, 30 at the end.
23:06The skipper himself, 34.
23:07we have suppressed twelve. Those grab 출als.
23:07And he comes up 163.
23:07By the way. There. Those
23:07grab. You get
23:07for the patient
23:08The body. The L mage.
