That's a wrap for our coverage of the T20 World Cup 2026 encounter between India and Netherlands. Group A draws to a close. India top the table, Pakistan runners-up, USA in third, Netherlands fourth and Namibia winless in fifth.

Stay tuned to NDTV Sports for all the live and latest sports updates from the tournament and from the world of sports. Goodbye!

India head into the Super 8 with significant contributions from nearly every member of their playing XI so far. Suryakumar stood up in the first game, Ishan Kishan smashed two fifties, Hardik and Dube have played crucial knocks, and Varun and Bumrah have oozed class. Once Abhishek Sharma joins the party, few will be able to stop the Indian juggernaut.

No surprises here. Shivam Dube gets the 'Player of the Match' award. His knock of 66 off 31 was the difference in a game where the two sides were separated by only 17 runs. India wouldn't have gotten to their total of 193 without Dube's knock.

Victory for India! A 17-run win clinched by the hosts. The Netherlands gave it a good go, but Shivam Dube's heroics with the bat and Varun Chakravarthy's timely wickets ensured India's win. 4 wins out of 4 for India in Group A - they maintain a 100% record heading into the Super 8.

NED 176/7 (20)

IND beat NED by 17 runs.

GONE! Finally the wicket! A third mistimed slog from Lion-Cachet, and this time Washington Sundar ensures the catch is completed. Comfortable take by the all-rounder at long-on. It's no longer mathematically possible for Netherlands to win.

NED 172/7 (19.4)

A total mess in the Indian fielding in the final over. Two catches dropped in consecutive balls. Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav collide trying to get the first one. Tilak Varma then runs in from deep point to try and catch the next, but drops it too, perhaps distracted by the light.

NED 172/6 (19.3)

Noah Croes and Zach Lion-Cachet really dragging it down to the wire here! 18 off Hardik Pandya's over. 28 needed in the last. It's a tough ask for Netherlands, but they're still alive. Shivam Dube will bowl the final over.

NED 166/6 (19)

Down to the final two overs then. Netherlands need 46 runs off the final 12. A really difficult equation for the Dutch lower-order. Hardik Pandya will bowl the 19th over. This means either Bumrah or Arshdeep won't complete their quota.

NED 148/6 (18)

Two boundaries in a row! Both come behind the wicket, against Washington Sundar. Netherlands' Noah Croes slams the first 4 with the reverse-sweep. He then tries the sweep on the next ball, but ends up getting a thick inside edge that runs fine for 4 more.

NED 136/6 (17)

Jasprit Bumrah strikes! It was bound to happen at some point. Fantastic yorker. Scott Edwards shuffles across, looking for the scoop, but he misses as the ball crashes into the stumps. The sound of timber probably signals the end of Netherlands' hopes.

NED 125/6 (16)

Some lusty blows, much-needed for Netherlands! Scott Edwards sweeps the first ball of the 14th over for 4, and then Bas de Leede smashes a 6 over long-on. And then the wicket! Dube strikes on the final ball of his second over. Wide and full, de Leede swings hard, but the outside edge flies to the fielder at short third-man. Varun Chakravarthy takes a sharp catch.

NED 112/5 (14)

Varun Chakravarthy misses out on the hattrick! A difficult delivery, but Edwards somehow gets bat and knocks it away. Chakravarthy's tournament tally is now up to 9 wickets, which is the joint second-highest.

NED 99/4 (13)

Varun Chakravarthy is on a hattrick! 2 wickets in 2 balls for India's spin maestro. First Ackerman departs. Going for a slog sweep, he gets caught at deep mid-wicket. Next ball, Aryan Dutt misses it completely as the delivery cleans up the stumps!

NED 94/4 (12.2)

Close! Hit hard by Colin Ackerman, Washington Sundar looked to grab it one-handed, fielding at backward point. He times his jump well and gets his fingertips to it but fails to hold on. Relief for Netherlands.

NED 83/2 (11.1)

Halfway point of the Netherlands innings. Interestingly, they're only 2 runs behind where India were at the same stage during their innings. However, the required run-rate is over 12 for Scott Edwards' side.

NED 72/2 (10)

Bas de Leede trapped on the pads by Chakravarthy, umpire gives not out but India take the DRS review. And it was close! Impact is umpire's call, and that saves de Leede, because the ball was crashing onto the stumps.

NED 57/2 (8.3)

For a change, Hardik Pandya bowls his first over after the powerplay, but he still delivers a wicket! A cracking cover drive by Levitt at first, but he looks to go big again, only to find the fielder at wide long-on. Washington Sundar stands tall and collects a good catch on the edge of the boundary rope.

NED 52/2 (8)

It has been a below-par powerplay for Netherlands. They're scoring at just 6 runs per over, and they've lost the wicket of Max O'Dowd. The required run-rate is above 11. A tidy start by Arshdeep and Bumrah was added to by Chakravarthy's wicket.

NED 36/1 (6)

GONE! Varun Chakravarthy strikes! India's mystery spinner makes an impact straight away. Temps O'Dowd into the shot, the batter missed and Chakravarthy struck. First wicket down for Netherlands.

NED 35/1 (5.4)

First maximum of the Netherlands innings! Max O'Dowd smashes a pull over deep square-leg for 6 as Washington Sundar enters the bowling attack. 11 off the over, the first good one for the Dutch.

NED 33/0 (5)

Very difficult chance, put down by Abhishek! O'Dowd gets another massive outside edge against Bumrah, Abhishek dives to his left and tries to grab it one-handed, but cannot hold on. It goes for 4.

NED 21/0 (3.1)

Jasprit Bumrah bowls an excellent first over with the new ball. Concedes a boundary, which came through third-man after a thick outside edge. A couple of terrific inswingers that left O'Dowd bamboozled.

NED 11/0 (2)

Netherlands' chase is underway. Arshdeep Singh takes the new ball for India. Michael Levitt and Max O'Dowd opening for the Dutch. Levitt slams a boundary, but Arshdeep keeps the first over down to 6 runs.

NED 6/0 (1)

Three ducks in a row for Abhishek Sharma also sees him equal Ashish Nehra for the most ducks by an Indian in T20 World Cup history. The overall record for the most ducks is five, held jointly by Pakistan's Shahid Afridi and Sri Lanka's T Dilshan.

Solid cameos came from Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma, but India have Shivam Dube to thank for getting them to a healthy total. 66 off 30 tonight, with four boundaries and six maximums. The star of the show!

A maximum from Rinku Singh and Hardik Pandya gets out in the final four balls of the 20th over. India end on 193/6 in 20 overs. 119 runs scored in the final 10 overs, thanks largely to the onslaught unleashed by Shivam Dube.

IND 193/5 (20)

NED Target: 194

End of Shivam Dube's carnage. He smashes a 6 on the first ball of the 20th over. Looked to go big again on the second ball, but an excellent catch taken at deep fine-leg by Fred Klaassen. The Dutch fielder did really well to throw the ball up, maintain balance and complete the catch.

IND 186/5 (19.2)

Hardik Pandya smashes a 6 over wide long-on, and reaches a massive milestone. He completes 6,000 runs in T20 cricket. And the charge continues! He smacks another maximum over long-on. 21 off the over, India are on track for 200.

IND 180/4 (18)

Crunched through the covers for 4! 50 for Shivam Dube, 150 up for India! A fine knock. Just 25 balls to get there. Walked into the crease during a tricky phase, and has turned the scales with his aggressive batting. Two maximums and a boundary in the 17th over. 

IND 153/4 (17)

Shivam Dube is into the 40s! He clobbers another one into the crowd. It's his fourth 6 of the innings. India nearing 150 now, and would hope to charge on and get as close to 200 as they can. 

And 6 more! Slower delivery, but Dube waits for it and deposits it back over the bowler's head for a straight 6.

IND 149/4 (16.5)

Another maximum for Dube! Full toss from van der Merwe and thumped into the crowd, over deep mid-wicket. Two balls later, Pandya presses the accelerator, and hammers it over the leg-side for 6 more!

IND 132/4 (15.5)

GONE! The Indian captain has to walk back! Suryakumar Yadav goes for a trademark flick slog over the leg-side, but doesn't get the timing on it. Goes straight to van der Gugten at deep square-leg. SKY goes for 34 off 28.

IND 110/4 (13.3)

Shivam Dube on the charge! He smashes two huge maximums over deep square-leg in the 13th over, and a boundary through the covers in between. 19 off the over, and that brings up the 100-run mark for India.

IND 108/3 (13)

Maximum! Much-needed 6 for India. First boundary in 19 balls for the hosts. First 6 for Suryakumar, who moves up to 31 with that shot. India's run-rate is still under 8.

IND 89/3 (12)

These haven't been the best 10 overs for India. Netherlands have bowled well, and Indian batters have struggled to time the ball. Abhishek went for a duck, Kishan departed shortly after, and Tilak struggled too. 

IND 74/3 (10)

Unbelievable catch! Tilak Varma slams it hard on the off-side, the ball goes high, but Roelof van der Merwe jumps backwards and takes an absolutely incredible catch. 41-years-young! Tilak departs for 31 off 27. 

IND 69/3 (9)

Oh dear! Suryakumar Yadav has been dropped! Netherlands make a terrible error in the outfield. SKY doesn't get great timing on the shot, and it should've been taken at deep mid-wicket, but Michael Levitt drops it!

IND 63/2 (8.2)

End of the powerplay! Team India have lost two wickets, with both openers departing cheaply. Abhishek Sharma got out for his third duck in a row, while Ishan Kishan departed after hitting a few boundaries. Netherlands' Aryan Dutt scalping both wickets.

IND 51/2 (6)

The 50-run mark comes up for Team India! It has taken the men in blue 5.3 overs to get to it. Suryakumar Yadav is up and running with a boundary, but Netherlands have managed to deal two big blows to Team India early on.

IND 50/2 (5.3)

Ishan Kishan is gone in the powerplay! Aryan Dutt gets yet another wicket for Netherlands. Bowled once again, and India's dangerous opening pair is back in the dugout. Kishan smashed two boundaries and a maximum, but goes for 18 off 7.

IND 44/2 (5)

Abhishek Sharma's three ducks in a row takes your mind back to when India head coach Gautam Gambhir had once made three consecutive ducks for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the start of IPL 2014.

Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan accelerating! Tilak smashes a maximum back over the bowler's head on the first ball of the second over, and then Kishan picks up a boundary through the leg-side. Important for this duo to accelerate after Abhishek's early departure.

IND 18/1 (2)

GONE! Would you believe it? Abhishek Sharma is out for 0 again. 3 ducks in a row! The India opener, the No. 1 T20I batter in the world, is gone without scoring again. He goes for a hard swing, misses, and Aryan Dutt's delivery knocks over the stumps. 3-ball duck.

IND 0/1 (0.3)

We are LIVE! Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma opening for India. Can Abhishek finally get off the mark? Can Kishan end the group stages as the top run-scorer of the tournament? Aryan Dutt, the off-spinner, is going to open the bowling.

Interestingly, Abhishek is wearing Mohammed Siraj's No. 73 jersey!

Sunil Gavaskar states ahead of the game that the pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is good, and he expects India to score 200 or more. Over to Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and co. to meet the expectations!

Netherlands XI vs India: Michael Levitt, Max O'Dowd, Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (c/wk), Zach Lion-Cachet, Noah Croes, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Kyle Klein.

India XI vs Netherlands: Ishan Kishan (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav wins the toss and opts to bat! For the fourth time in the group stage, India will be batting first. Two changes announced - Arshdeep Singh replaces Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar comes in for Axar Patel.

We are just about 10 minutes away from toss time at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India have batted first in each of their three games so far, so it'll be interesting to see whether they get a chance to bowl first today.

It's official now. Netherlands have been knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2026. Pakistan clinch a massive 102-run win over Namibia, and seal their place in the Super 8. Netherlands will be rueing their missed opportunity against Pakistan earlier in the group phase, having come so close to beating them.

With India returning to play on home soil, they're likely to revert back to the combination they had before the Pakistan match. That would see pacer Arshdeep Singh return to the playing XI, replacing Kuldeep Yadav.

It would also not be a surprise to see pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah rested, as India have already booked their Super 8 spot.

As it stands, Pakistan are firmly on top in their Group A match against Namibia. Namibia are 62/4 after 10 overs, chasing a mammoth target of 200. Remember, if Pakistan wins, both Netherlands and USA are knocked out of the Super 8 race.

Abhishek Sharma, India's star opener and the No. 1-ranked T20I batter in the world, is under the pump. The dashing left-hander is yet to open his account in this tournament, having made ducks in India's games against USA and Pakistan. He also suffered from a stomach bug mid-tournament.

India opener Ishan Kishan has arguably been the best batter of the ongoing T20 World Cup so far. The left-hander has smashed 158 runs in the first three games, including two half-centuries. Kishan single-handedly changed India's fortunes against Pakistan, smashing a superb 77. He'll be hoping to continue this rich vein of form today.

India have already booked their Super 8 berth after winning each of their first three Group A matches. As a result, Suryakumar Yadav and co. can treat this match almost as a warm-up fixture, and look to continue their rhythm ahead of their first Super 8 match against South Africa on Sunday.

Despite their match being later today, the Netherlands team must be keeping a keen eye on the ongoing match between Pakistan and Namibia. Netherlands have a very slim chance of qualifying for the Super 8 if they beat India by a big margin, but all those hopes will be dashed even before the India match if Pakistan win.

If Pakistan defeat Namibia, they will join India in qualifying for the Super 8 from Group A.

A very warm welcome to one and all, to the live coverage of the T20 World Cup 2026 game between India and Netherlands! We are at the gigantic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today, in what is the final Group A match.
