India won the final match 45th of the group of ICC World Cup 2023, by a huge margin of 160 runs. India won the toss and chose to bat first. The top 5 of the Indian batting order all notched up 50s with Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul converting their fifties into hundreds and eventually setting a target of 410 for the Dutch.
In reply, Indian bowlers encountered a formidable challenge, with the pacers falling short of bewildering the Dutch batsmen as has become almost customary. Although Barresi's early departure hinted at a potential breakthrough, Max ODowd and Ackermann resiliently forged a partnership.
It took the prowess of Kuldeep Yadav to disrupt their rhythm, followed by a decisive strike from Jadeja on the opposite end. Subsequently, the contest meandered into the somewhat mundane middle overs phase, prompting skipper Rohit Sharma to unleash his unorthodox, wrong-footed inswinging deliveries, adding an element of entertainment for the spectators.
Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and SKY seized the opportunity to take calculated risks, with Kohli even managing to claim a wicket, sending the crowd into a state of jubilation. The subsequent entry of Siraj, Shami, Bumrah, and Kuldeep further bolstered the team's wickets column. Finally, in a fitting finale, Captain Rohit Sharma took matters into his own hands, seizing the ball and, as if scripted, securing the wicket of Teja Nidamanuru, who departed after a commendable fifty, putting the finishing touch on a comprehensive bowling performance.
