Shivam Dube's explosive 66 off 31 balls powered India to 193/6, with Varun Chakravarthy returning 3/14 to secure a 17-run victory over the Netherlands. The defending champions topped Group A with the win, capitalizing on a late surge from Hardik Pandya to post a challenging total.
Despite Abhishek Sharma’s third consecutive duck, India's depth shone through. Pandya and Dube added 76 runs for the fifth wicket, while the Dutch side fought back to 176/7, with Logan van Beek taking 3-56.
