| Man of the Match : Y Singh | Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi (9 March, 2011) |
 |
Netherland started off slowly, almost excruciatingly and by the time their opening partnership ended they were 57/1 after 16 overs, their COW down by 4% to 35%. No player managed to cross 30 and at one point they were down to 136/7 with COW of21% before a quickfire 38 by Borrens helped them reach 189 with COW of 26%. The way India started it looked like the game will be over in 20 overs. But Seelaar had other ideas. He picked up 3 wickets to reduce India to 82/3 and they struggled to reach 139/5 after 25 with COW of 87%. One more wicket and Netherlands would have been in to the India tale. But a gritty 51* by Yuvraj and a composed 19* by MSD saw India home in 37th over. |
