India vs Netherlands Highlights T20 World Cup: All-round Dube helps IND maintain perfect record

• Feb 22: India vs South Africa, Ahmedabad
• Feb 26: India vs Zimbabwe, Chennai
• March 1: India vs West Indies, Kolkata

Washington Sundar takes the catch to show Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma who dropped catches on the previous two balls. Shivam Dube has a wicket too.

NED 172-7(19.4)

Noah Croes finishes the over with two boundaries over the off-side. Brilliant batting from him. Some smiles for Netherlands fans.

NED 166-6(19) need 28 off 6

Short ball from Hardik Pandya and Zach Lion-Cachet makes room the slap the ball all the way over the deep cover fence. He is batting well here.

NED 158/6(18.4)

Washington Sundar goes for a four on the second ball of the over but then bounces back to give only eight runs in the over. Netherlands need to attack now even if they lose wickets.

NED 44-1(7)

Varun Chakravarthy comes into the attack and straightaway makes an impact. Max O’Dowd wants to send this googly over the fence but misses the ball completely and is clean bowled.

NED 35-1(5.4)

Max O’Dowd makes room and Washington Sundar follows him but the batter pulls him over the deep square leg fence for a six. It would have been a good start for Netherlands if they were chasing 160 but they are chasing 194 and they are going really slow.

NED 30-0(4.4)

Michael Levitt makes room and cuts the ball to the backward point boundary for a four. Six come off this over from Arshdeep Singh but Netherlands’ run rate is still below six.

NED 17-0(3)

Max O’Dowd just cannot seem to have a clue as to what Jasprit Bumrah is doing. He gets a boundary through an edge but otherwise he is just searching for the ball throughout the over.

NED 11-0(2)

Michael Levitt sends the second ball of the chase to the boundary. Full and on the pads but Levitt flicks it past mid-off for a boundary.

NED 4-0(0.2)

Arshdeep Singh is ready to begin proceedings and he has Michael Levitt in front of him. Max O’Dowd is the non-striker.

Netherlands need 194 to win from 20 overs

Logan van Beek starts the final over by getting hit for a six over long-on by Shivam Dube. Next up is a short ball and Dube is caught at fine leg after a good catch from Tim van der Gugten. Dube is out for his career best 66 off 31.

IND 186-5(19.2)

Kyle Klein is being taken the cleaners by Hardik Pandya. Shivam Dube started the over with a four and then Hardik too over to first hit Klein over mid-wicket and then over long-off. 21 runs off the over and India are looking at 200 now.

IND 180-4(19)

Just six runs in this over and Bas de Leede finishes his quota of overs with the figures of 0/28. No wickets, but brilliant bowling from the all-rounder.

IND 159-4(18)

Dube getting lots of praise for his 50:

Netherlands have brought 3 decent offies vs lefty batters of Ind.. As for Dube, despite his million limitations, he quite often finds a way..and when he does, this 6'4"+ Dube has that imposing presence like Haydos & KP..

Dube's 50 off 25 balls has been a stunning knock. Looking comfortable on a wicket that no one else has quite come to grips with.

Shivam Dube has tonked two sixes and a four in this over to reach his half-century in only 25 balls. 20 runs come from this over of Logan van Beek. India set to score big in these death overs.

IND 153-4(17)

Scott Edwards takes the risk of bowling Roelof van der Merwe in this over and India take plenty in this over. 14 come in it with Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube both hitting a six each.

IND 133-4(16)

Despite the wealth of batting depth, India are not willing to take risks here. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube exchange five singles from this Bas de Leede over.

IND 118-3(15)

Kyle Klein gets the big wicket of Suryakumar Yadav. It is bowled towards the pads but Suryakumar flicks the ball straight into the hands of fine leg.

IND 110-4(13.3)

Massive over for India. Shivam Dube sends Colin Ackermann over mid-wicket for a six once again. This over has the potential to turn the game around.

IND 108-3(13)

Shivam Dube no joins the party. Colin Ackermann wants to target Dube’s pads but is pumelled over deep mid-wicket for a big six. And a ball later, he dispatches this full ball to the extra cover boundary. 10 runs in 3 balls in this over.

IND 99-3(12.3)

Bas de Leede bowls it towards the pads and is sent deep into the crowd by Suryakumar Yadav who was just waiting for such a delivery. His first six of the night.

IND 89-3(12)

Aryan Dutt hit Shivam Dube’s pads with a quicker delivery. Netherlands appeal hard but the umpire is not convinced. The Dutch go for a review and umpire’s call marginally saves Dube. Dutt finishes his spell with 2/17. Exceptional from the Dutch offie.

IND 76-3(11)

Roelof van der Merwe takes a stunner at the long-off boundary to send back Tilak Varma for 31 off 27. Slow and wide from Logan van Beek and Tilak lofts the ball down the ground only to be caught in a stunning fashion.

IND 69-3(9)

Third straight duck brings a lot of jokes for Abhishek Sharma:
