"I try to hit boundaries, and I enjoy hitting sixes, but the bowling was good, and I had to prepare myself, Dube reflected. I know all the bowlers will not bowl me yorkers or length balls; they will bowl slower, short balls, and I have prepared for that [as well]. The captain and coaches have told me I have to keep the strike rate high, that wasn't the case when I came in, but we got there."
"The left-handed Abhishek, the world's number one T20 international batsman in the ICC rankings, had his stumps splattered third ball by off-spinner Aryan Dutt, leaving the home fans at the world's biggest cricket stadium stunned. The 25-year-old Abhishek is yet to score a run in the tournament in three appearances, having missed the second group-stage match against Namibia with a stomach infection."
India completed a clean sweep of Group A by beating the Netherlands by 17 runs in Ahmedabad to finish with four wins. Having won the toss, India posted 193-6, with Shivam Dube top-scoring with 66 off 31, including 19 in the 16th over. Tilak Varma (31 off 27) and captain Suryakumar Yadav (34 off 28) provided earlier cameos, and Ishan Kishan scored 18 at a 257 strike rate. Abhishek Sharma endured a third successive duck after being bowled third ball by Aryan Dutt. Hardik Pandya hit 30 off 21 in a late 76-run partnership with Dube. India and Sri Lanka had already secured Super Eights places.
