Team India came out to play first
The Netherlands’ challenge was considered easy for India, but the story turned as soon as the match started. Sourav Ganguly struggled on the pitch from the very beginning and was dismissed for 8 runs off 32 balls. Virender Sehwag could only score 6 runs. Only 17 runs came off Rahul Dravid’s bat, that too in 38 balls. Sachin Tendulkar took one end and hit a fifty but he too got out after scoring 52 runs.
Dinesh Mongia, who landed at number 7, scored 42 and Yuvraj Singh scored 37 runs and somehow the team’s score crossed 200 runs. India’s innings was reduced to 204 runs in the 49th over. Fast bowler Tim de Leed took 4 wickets for the Netherlands. Lahore-born Adil Raza dismissed 2 batsmen.
Srinath and Kumble became troublemakers
After getting the target of 205 runs, Netherlands started smelling of victory, but Jawagat Srinath and Anil Kumble came in the middle. Dan Van Bung scored 62 runs in the top 8 batsmen of the Netherlands. But apart from him, 7 batsmen could score only 7 runs together. His 7 batsmen had returned to the pavilion on the score of 54.
Edgar Shifferly, who landed at number 9, scored 13 and Jeroen Smits, who landed at number 10, scored 26 runs to take the team to 136 runs. India may have won by 68 runs but Netherlands won the heart. After this, in the 2011 World Cup also there was a clash between India and the Netherlands. There too, India lost 5 wickets in achieving the target of 190 runs.
again clash with the Netherlands
After 19 years of this match, the Indian team is ready to face the Netherlands in the T20 World Cup 2022. This will be the first T20 match between the two teams. Team India will not want to repeat the mistake that was batted this time. Netherlands has played 4 matches in this tournament so far. They have won only two but their bowlers have done wonders.
The team restricted UAE to 111, Namibia to 121, Sri Lanka to 162 and Bangladesh to 144. Bass de Leide has 9 wickets in 4 matches. He is jointly on top in terms of taking most wickets in the tournament. This is the reason why Team India will not want to make the mistake this time, which was done 19 years ago.
