"Shivam Dube held his nerve at the death... to seal a 17-run win, as India wrapped up the group stage unbeaten. - Match Report"

New Delhi, Feb 19

India head into Super Eights with an unbeaten record after beating Netherlands by 17 runs in their last Group A fixture.

In their final group game, India overcame a cagey start against Netherlands to finish at 193/6 in Ahmedabad after opting to bat first.

Netherlands got off to a steady start to their chase. But they were staring down the barrel after being reduced to 125/6 after 16 overs before Zach Lion-Cachet and Noah Croes counter-attacked with a flurry of big hits to narrow the gap.

Croes smashed three boundaries off four balls - two off the last two balls of Washington Sundar's spell and one off Arshdeep Singh - before Lion-Cachet too got in on the act with a boundary and a six.

Two more boundaries from Croes off Hardik Pandya trimmed the equation to 28 off the final over. But Shivam Dube held his nerve at the death, conceding little and removing Lion-Cachet to seal a 17-run win, as India wrapped up the group stage unbeaten.

All the stats from India's win

7: India captain Suryakumar Yadav used 7 bowlers. It was the fifth instance when India used seven or more bowlers during an innings of a T20 WC match.

12: Till date, India have so far used 12 bowlers in the current edition of the WC which are the maximum in a single edition of the T20WC. Earlier, they used 11 bowlers in the 2009 edition.

3: Opener Abhishek Sharma who failed to score a single run in the current T20 WC is now the 3rd opener to get three ducks in a T20 World Cup. Previously, Andrew Fletcher of West Indies in 2009 and Tanzid Hasan of Bangladesh in 2024 had this dubious distinction.

12: India registered their 12th successive victory in the T20 WCs which is a World record. They started their winning campaign from June 5, 2024 and it is still running till date.

66: Is the highest score of Shivam Dube in T20Is,eclipsing his previous best of 65 v New Zealand at Vizag on Jan 28, 2026. Overall, it was his sixth fifty-plus score in his 59th match.

176/7: Is Netherland's highest team total without an individual fifty, surpassing 174/4 against Nepal at Lord's in 2018.

So proud of the team! 12 wins in a row is just incredible. The stat about using 12 bowlers shows our depth and SKY's clever captaincy. But seriously, what is happening with Abhishek Sharma? Three ducks is worrying. Hope he finds form soon.

Hardik Pandya's achievement is massive! 6000+ runs and 200+ wickets - a true world-class all-rounder. He's our X-factor. The Dutch gave us a scare, but these close games are good preparation for the knockouts. Onwards and upwards!

Respect to Netherlands, they fought hard. But some of our fans are overreacting. It's a group game, we won, we're unbeaten. The goal is to peak in the Super Eights and semis. Shivam Dube's finishing was clutch today.

Watching from the US! The game had me on the edge of my seat. Amazing to see the depth in Indian cricket. So many bowling options. That record of 12 straight wins is just domination. Well done, Team India!

Good performance overall, but a bit of a reality check. We can't afford to let teams get that close in the final overs against stronger sides. The positive is everyone got a chance to bowl. Time to be ruthless in the next round.
