India vs Netherlands, T20 World Cup 2022 Highlights: IND thrash NED by 56 runs, go top of the table

They are a powerhouse and they've played like a powerhouse so far. They go up to the top of the table with this win, having a two-point lead on South Africa. As clinical a performance as it gets. It was only Netherlands, but India showed that the dramatic win against Pakistan has not gone to their heads. Very, very strong start to the tournament, in stark contrast to what was the case last year. 

Arshdeep Singh is on a hat-trick. Netherlands are 109/9, Paul Van Meekeren is on strike. 

Arshdeep is at the boundary line having some energy fluids when he gets to celebrate this wicket. That is because the umpire had given not out for this rip-roaring yorker that Klaasen could do nothing about. Rohit silently takes the review it is three reds on the ball tracker. Arshdeep will be on a hat-trick if he bowls the last over. 

Klaassen lbw b Arshdeep Singh 0 (1), Netherlands 101/9 in 18 overs

That was quicker than Van Beek expected, he gets a slight top edge before the ball flies to Karthik. 

van Beek c Karthik b Arshdeep Singh 3 (5), Netherlands 101/8 in 17.5 overs

Three bowlers converging on the same catch but Hooda calls for it and there is no collission. Would have been quite an ugly incident if there was. 

Edwards c sub (DJ Hooda) b Kumar 5 (8), Netherlands 89/7 in 16.3 overs

Pringle gets a leading edge, Kohli runs to his right from mid-off and takes the catch. Brilliant catch from the former India captain. 

Pringle c Kohli b Mohammed Shami 20 (15), Netherlands 87/6 in 15.4 overs 

Traditional off spin from Ashwin, maybe a little slower. Cooper hits it straight to the fielder and Netherlands are crumbling now. 

Cooper c sub (DJ Hooda) b Ashwin 9 (12), Netherlands 63/5 in 12.4 overs

They need 124 to win off 54, required rate of 13.77. Their current run rate is 5.09. This good stuff from India and they wouldn't want to take the foot off the pedal here. Axar Patel returns for the 12th so he will be bowling out. 

Good catch from Pandya and Netherlands lose their third. De Leede tries to cut a length ball outside off, can't keep it down and ends up slicing it to backward point. Pandya had to move quickly to his right and caught it above his head. 

de Leede c Pandya b Patel 16 (23), Netherlands 47/3 in 9.2 overs

Colin Ackermann is on two off four balls, Bas de Leede is on seven off 13 balls. Hardik Pandya comes on for the first over after the powerplay.

Full on middle and off from Axar, O'Dowd goes down on one knee looking to sweep and almost yorks himself. He misses and the ball takes the stumps. Wicket off the second ball of the match for Axar. 

O'Dowd b Patel 16 (10), Netherlands 20/2 in 4.2 overs

Shami finishes his first over of the match and now Rohit brings in Axar Patel early. 

Off the second ball of the third. Vikramjeet really didn't have much of an idea and completely misses the pull shot. The ball skims the bails. 

Vikramjit Singh b Kumar 1 (9), Netherlands 11/1 in 2.2 overs

So far so good for the Netherlands. They have looked pretty steady, haven't really been threatened so far. 

How about it. Arshdeep got a wicket off the first ball against Pakistan, here he concedes a four off the first ball. Length ball angling accross the line, O'Dowd just punches it to the boundary. 

Max O'Dowd and Vikramjeet Singh open for the Netherlands, Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowling the first over for India. 

I’ve enjoyed batting here, enjoyed that partnership. When I went inside, Virat bhai just said keep batting the way you have been batting, so I just expressed myself. Good to see everyone come here and support us, my wife is also around so that’s a great support as well. The wicket is a bit two-paced, it is a good score to defend. (On Virat Kohli) He has been batting amazingly, he has just stuck to his routines and processes. I’m really enjoying batting with him.

Suryakumar is unbeaten on 51 off 25 balls, Kohli on 62 off 44 balls. They have put together 95 runs off just 48 balls for the third wicket and have score 65 runs in the last five overs. 

Lovely flick of the wrist and the ball flies over the boundary. He moves to 61 off 43, India are 172/2 off 19.4. 

India are 162/2. Despite this onslaught from Kohli and SKY, Netherlands have kept their nerve and denied India any easy boundaries. They have been mighty impressive so far. 

Surya makes room and belts it over extra cover. One bounce and over the boundary. 

Suryakumar tries going inside out, doesn't quite nail that shot but there is enough to get this to the boundary. 

Right, Kohli on strike, Van Beek steaming in. 200 seems a bit too much now but India can still score somewhere close to 180. 

That has come in just 37 deliveries. The Virat Kohli of old is well and truly back. He takes a single to get to that mark but doesn't seem 

Extraordinary stuff from the former India captain. Klaasen switches to round the wicket, Kohli stays leg side of the ball and sends it over extra-cover. That was a work of art.
