So India, after putting in a poor show with the bat, limped to an
excruiciating 68-run win in 48.1 overs, getting the four points
from this encountar rather painstakingly
The Netherlands can be proud of decimating India's batting for the
large part, but their batting did not prove up to the task of
chasing down 205
