Abhishek Dak's hat-trick is the expected win for India in the match

Today's match in Ahmedabad is very much a matter of regulation for India, who have already secured the Super Eight by winning three matches in a row. They are also assured of the top spot in the points table. Even if they lose, they will be at the top because they are ahead in run rate. Yet India was no exception to the Netherlands. Defeated the Dutch by 17 runs and kept the top spot strong.

Batting first at Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, the biggest in the world of cricket, India scored 193 runs for 6 wickets. In reply, Netherlands could not score more than 176 runs for 7 wickets.

India's opener Abhishek Sharma is again discussed in the match. After winning the toss and batting, India lost the wicket without adding any runs to the scoreboard. Abhishek Sharma gets the bitter taste of the call again. Arian Dutt bowled the left-handed batsman. Before this, he could not open the account of runs against USA and Pakistan. This is his fifth innings with the bat in 2026.

Despite that initial disaster, India picked up 51 runs in the powerplay. 1 more wicket lost. Ishan Kishan was Aryan Dutt's second victim with 18 runs off 7 balls with 2 fours and 1 six.

Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav led the team in the third wicket. But the expected storm was not in their bat. Their pair scored 30 runs off 28 balls. All calculations changed when Shivad Dubey came to the crease. He changed the picture of the match by scoring 66 runs off 31 balls. Hit 6 sixes with 4 fours. India scored 67 runs in 7-15 overs. But in the last 5 overs, Men in Blue scored 75 runs.

Hardik Pandya paired with Dub. Hardik scored 30 runs off 21 balls. There was no boundary in his bat. Hit 3 sixes. Dub's innings was also impressive. He took 5 runs off the first 10 balls. 27 runs come from 11-20 balls. After 21-30 he made 34 runs. Von Wick was dismissed in the 31st ball.

Vick was the best bowler of the Netherlands. He took 3 wickets for 56 runs. Aryan got 2 wickets.
Chasing the target, all four of the Netherlands' opening batsmen got runs. Michael Levett scored 24, Max O'Dowd scored 20, Bass De Leede scored 33 and Colin Akerman scored 23. As they failed to build an innings, the defeat of the Netherlands was assured early on. However, they did not give up fighting in the end. Leon Chachet's 26 and Noah Cuse's 25 gave them some hope. But they did not have the last laugh in the big rush.

Varun Chakraborty got 3 wickets for 14 runs with the ball. Shivam Dubey took 2 wickets for 35 runs.

Dube received the man of the match award for his all-round performance.
