India maintained their perfect record at the T20 World Cup with a 17-run victory over the Netherlands in Ahmedabad. Despite Abhishek Sharma's third consecutive duck, the hosts posted an imposing 193-6, powered by Shivam Dube's explosive 66 off 31 balls featuring four fours and six sixes.

With Super 8 qualification already secured, India's decision to bat first looked shaky when Sharma fell for a duck, becoming the first batter to record three consecutive ducks in a T20 World Cup. The Netherlands' bowlers, particularly Aryan Dutt and Logan van Beek, claimed five wickets between them to slow India's momentum. However, contributions from Tilak Varma (31), Suryakumar Yadav (34), and Hardik Pandya (30) ensured a competitive total.

Chasing 194, the Netherlands never threatened India's total. Varun Chakravarthy's exceptional spell of 3-14 dismantled their top order, including dismissing Dutt for a duck. Despite late boundaries from Zach Lion-Cachet and Noah Croes, the Dutch were restricted to 176-7, ending their campaign with four losses from four matches.
