India beat Netherlands by 160 runs in World Cup 2023 

BENGALURU – India crushed the Netherlands by 160 runs in the 45th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 capping up their immaculate run through the group stages with an inch-perfect performance at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.

India will now take on New Zealand on November 15 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in the maiden World Cup semi-final.

The Dutch had a rough start to the match, losing their first wicket for five runs in the second over, but they managed to rally and save the match.

Although Max O’Dowd (30) and Colin Ackermann (35) gave their team some consistency, both batsmen lost their wickets before their team reached the 100-run mark.

Utilising all of the bowlers at his disposal to take advantage of the massive score, Rohit Sharma bowled today along with Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and himself.

In his second over, Kohli removed Dutch captain Scott Edwards for a cost of 17 runs.

In attempting to chase a 411-run target, the whole Dutch side was out for 250 runs.

India, batting first, used a dominant batting performance to set a massive 411-run mark for Edwards’ team.

With the exception of Suryakumar Yadav, who played just one ball, all six Indian batsmen demonstrated their batting prowess and produced excellent hits on the day.

Earlier, India won the toss and elected to bat first against Netherlands.
