IND vs NED Highlights: Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards relish playing in ‘noisiest atmosphere’ but disappointed not to execute plans properly in 56-run loss to India
A superb performance by Indian bowlers coupled with half-centuries by a trio of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav helped the Men in Blue clinch a 56-run win over the Netherlands in their Group 2, Super 12 match of ICC T20 World Cup at Sydney Cricket Ground on Thursday.
“Definitely the noisiest (atmosphere), some of the chants that were going around made it difficult to speak to the players sometimes, but it was an awesome experience. We came here to win and put on a good performance, but against these sort of sides you have to be on the money or they make you pay. The way those two batters played in the end and took them to 180, it was always going to be tricky. We bowled reasonably well but if you do not get the wickets and with the batting order they have, it was always going to be tough to restrict them. It gets bigger and better, does not it? Looking forward to it (the Pakistan game) and hopefully we can put up a better performance,” said Edwards in a post-match presentation. With this win, India are at the top spot in the points table with four points in two wins in two matches.

Suryakumar Yadav was the ‘Man of the Match’ for his half-century. Brief Scores: India: 179/2 (Virat Kohli 62*, Rohit Sharma 53, Paul van Meekeran 1/32) beat Netherlands: 123/9 (Tim Pringle 20, Colin Ackermann 17, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/9).
