IND vs NED Match 36 Results

5:43 PM IST We have ticked a lot of boxes - The Indian skipper, Suryakumar Yadav says that there was a bit of dew around, which made things slightly challenging for the bowlers, but overall, he is very happy with the performance. He acknowledges that they could find themselves in similar situations again, such as losing early wickets, but stresses that it is important for the batters to understand their responsibilities. Speaking about Dube, he recalls his knock in Vizag against New Zealand, mentioning that he wanted the Player of the Match award that day as well. Says that it was an amazing effort from Dube to help India reach 193. He feels the team has ticked a lot of boxes and adds that even in victory, there are lessons to be learned.

5:43 PM IST Dube's blitz powered India to 193 - Earlier, after opting to bat first, India suffered an early setback as Abhishek Sharma registered his third duck of the World Cup. Aryan Dutt was outstanding in the Powerplay, delivering three tight overs that set the tone. His effort was well supported through the middle phase, keeping India in check until Shivam Dube’s arrival shifted the complexion of the game. Dube's blistering 31-ball 66, his T20I career-best score, powered India to 193, with the Dutch conceding 75 runs in the final five overs.

5:42 PM IST India make it four in four - Not a perfect performance, but one that gets the job done. For all the talk of them being strong favourites coming into the tournament, Suryakumar Yadav's side hasn't quite hit top gear yet, but they continue to find ways to win. They will know there is plenty to improve on in different aspects of their game. The Netherlands fought hard until the very end while chasing, but never quite threatened to get over the line. They bowled well for large parts, only to lose their way at the death.

5:38 PM IST We failed to make the key moments count - The captain of Netherlands, Scott Edwards says that they started really well. Adds that Aryan Dutt has been amazing for them, especially bowling in the Powerplay. Mentions that they know India has the firepower, and they were in the game as well, but a couple of missed chances and some misexcution costed them. Says that they had a few wickets in hand towards the end and took the bowlers down. Edwards shares that any time you come to India, you learn a lot. Smaller grounds, flatter wickets, and large crowds with so much hype. He believes that they did not play to their potential in this World Cup, did well in patches, but failed to make the key moments count.

5:37 PM IST Coming up on Thursday - Just four games remain in the group stage, three of which are scheduled for 19th February. With all Super 8 spots sealed and the seedings pre-decided, there isn't much at stake for the qualified teams. However, for those heading home after the group stage, it's a chance to bow out on a high, especially for the Associate nations. First up on 19th February, the West Indies take on Italy in Kolkata. That will be followed by Sri Lanka facing Zimbabwe in Colombo, before Afghanistan round off the day’s action against Canada in Chennai. The first game of the day will commence at 5.30 am GMT. As always, you can join us early for all the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye!

5:32 PM IST Super 8 spots locked in - Coming into Wednesday's triple-header, there was just one spot left up for grabs, and Pakistan sealed it with a convincing win over Namibia in Colombo. Earlier in the day in Delhi, South Africa brushed aside the UAE to make it four wins from four, while India followed suit to complete a perfect run through the group stage.
