10:54pm That will be all from us tonight. We will be back with more T20 World Cup action tomorrow and hope to have your company. Until then, this is goodbye from all of us here at ESPNcricinfo!

Suryakumar Yadav, India captain: We wanted to bat first, went on to score 190. There was a bit of dew, a little challenging for the bowlers but all in all, very happy. We might be in a similar situation (losing early wickets), but it is important for the batters to understand what the responsibility is. We have firepower (later). When he (Dube) played at Vizag (against NZ), he had another knock. He wanted to get the POTM award that day too but to get to 190 (tonight), it was amazing. We have ticked a lot of boxes. Even when you win, you learn a lot of things, and we did today. (On India's bowling options) Sometimes it is a good headache to have. Have a lot of options. On a given day, whatever the wicket demands, they can chip in. Happy with the way things are moving. Contributions coming from every batter. One or two might have a beautiful day, but we need contributions from each and everyone.

Scott Edwards, Netherlands captain: We started really well. Lot of credit to Aryan. He has been sensational for us for a few years. We felt right in the game (for a while). We know they have firepower all the way down. To keep them under control for 14-15 overs was sensational. A couple of missed chances, missed execution and these guys will make you pay. They had wickets in hand, and took down a few overs at the end. (Learnings) Any time you come here, you learn a lot. Grounds are smaller, pitches are flatter, crowds are bigger and there is so much hype. As a group, we pride ourselves on playing well in the big moments. Played well but in the moments - we have to make those moments count.

Shivam Dube, Player of the Match: (On the conditions) It was a little tough, this is the situation I love to bat. I was enjoying, although I was under pressure. It was skidding and keeping low. One of the balls spun as well. For me, I knew I could hit, but the situation demanded something different. I try to hit boundaries and enjoy hitting sixes. I know all the bowlers are going to bluff me, and are going to bowl slower balls, so I prepared myself. As captain and coach have told me, I have to keep strike rate high. But it also depends on the situation. Today I could not keep the strike rate high (immediately) There was something and I thought this is the time I can go now. Working hard towards bowling. Results are coming. You are going to get hit sometimes, but you will also pick wickets.

10:38pm A strange ending to the game. India always were favourites to close it out, but could still not close it out until the game reached a natural conclusion. They tried a whole host of bowling combinations. Some worked. Some did not. But India do head into the next stage with their winning streak intact, and with Bumrah and Varun looking as incisive as ever.

Netherlands will be pleased with how much they fought and how close they got. They were always playing catch-up, though, and were left ruing their batters' inability to convert their starts into something more substantial. That, though, perhaps sums up a campaign where they had their moments but could not quite wrap it all together at crucial points.

Dube to van Beek, FOUR, walloped through the off side, but it matters little in the grander scheme. India go 4-0 and head into the Super Eight with a spotless record! Low full toss wide outside off. van Beek gives it all he has and cracks it past extra cover. Hugs and handshakes in the Indian camp. They never really looked in danger, but they were, at times, guilty of lifting their foot off the pedal too!

Dube to van Beek, no run, length ball hung up a mile outside off. van Beek swishes and misses. Not called a wide either, surprisingly

Sujit: "Varun could well be the leading wicket taker of the tournament if had given more overs"

van Beek in at 9. He famously won an ODI Super Over against WI once

Dube to Lion-Cachet, OUT, third time is the charm for Dube! This is a low full toss outside off. There to be hit too but ZLC doe not get under it enough. Pings it off the toe-end and Sundar, under the high ball at long on, makes no mistake!

Dube to Lion-Cachet, 2 runs, another drop! Full and wide outside off. ZLC keeps swinging because, well, why not. Arrows it towards deep point, where Tilak lunges forward but spills it!
19.2

Dube to Lion-Cachet, 2 runs, almost a collision, and the catch goes down! Slower ball hung up on a full length wide outside off. ZLC throws the plumbing at it and slices it. SKY runs back from extra cover, Rinku runs in from long off, and in the end, the ball lands near SKY's chest and trickles away. That could have been very bad for both SKY and Rinku!

Anupam: ""Croes is flying now!" - you had that one locked and loaded, didn't you?" -- I'd rather not say!

Dube to Lion-Cachet, 2 runs, excellent wide yorker to start off. ZLC cannot get under it and he clinks it out towards long on

28 off 6. We have seen this happen at this ground before. Dube to bowl. Bumrah and Varun have overs left, btw.

Arshdeep Singh to Croes, 1 leg bye, zipped into the blockhole outside off. Croes attempts the sweep this time but the ball is too full. Off the pad and down to deep third
