  1. 6 runs

    Ind 26-0published at 3 overs

    A monster six from Shubman Gill.

    He skips down the pitch with intent and with those fast powerful hands wallops Aryan Dutt into orbit.

    That struck the roof of the stadium.

    Too short. He went too full in the first over and was punished, so tries to overcompensate and that just shows how there is no margin for error against this India line-up.

  3. Ind 20-0published at 2.1 overs

    A bit of a freebie from Aryan Dutt.

    He drops it short and wide outside off stump and Rohit Sharma clinically cuts it to the boundary through point for four.

    Regardless of the result, the Netherlands can be proud of their tournament. They don't play much ODI cricket, they don't have the funding, so they have competed brilliantly.

    Yes, there has been the occasional bad game but they can go home with their heads held high.

  5. Ind 15-0published at 2 overs

    Logan van Beek with the second over for the Netherlands.

    It's a disciplined line and length from the Dutch seamer so there's a bit more respect shown by the India openers.

    Shubman Gill drills Van Beek's fourth delivery right back at the stumps at the non-striker's end. With Rohit Sharma out of his ground, Van Beek sticks out a paw but is unable to get a finger on it.

    It is so loud out there, it could be quite intimidating but the Netherlands players have just got to embrace it and enjoy it. It's not often you get to play with an atmosphere like this.

  7. Ind 11-0published at 1 over

    Aryan Dutt brings a defensive forward prod from Rohit Sharma as the India skipper respects the final ball of the over.

    Well, I think that might be a sign of things to come.

  10. Ind 9-0published at 0.3 overs

    Aryan Dutt begins with a wide after the ball turns to go past Rohit Sharma's legs.

    In a commanding fashion the India captain slog sweeps two of Dutt's next three balls for four behind square.

    As has been their tactic for the whole tournament, the Netherlands will begin with the spin of Aryan Dutt in the first over. he has the ball in hand.

    Rohit Sharma is on strike.

    Umpire Chris Gaffney calls "play".

    India have been impeccable, really. There has been the occasional wobble, but today feels just like an exhibition match.

    The pomp and circumstance is done.

    Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill punch gloves and walk out to the middle.

    The pitch looks a belter for batting.

    The players are just lining up for the national anthems.

    We spoke to Dutch all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe - aka the Bulldog - recently and he gave his thoughts on today's match.

    "Beating India in India during Diwali, the way they are playing at the moment, to beat them would be massive," he told BBC Sport.

    "The support they have and the crowd. We are in Bengaluru for the last one and it will be a noisy and unbelievable day."

    India are clear favourites. They will expect to dominate.

    They haven't played for six days so an unchanged side is a good thing, I think it'll just be about fine-tuning things before the semi-finals and making sure everything is in order.

    We've had some mammoth totals in this World Cup already and it feels like we are in for another one today.

    Virat Kohli has the chance to get his 50th one-day international century and what an occasion this would be for it.

    Netherlands captain Scott Edwards: "We would have batted as well, it looks like a pretty good wicket, but I think it is a good ground for chasing too.

    "We've been pretty good overall but there have been games we've been blown out. We just need to put in a really good performance today and give ourselves a chance.

    "This will be the biggest crowd we've been in front of so far, really looking forward to the atmosphere. They've been flawless so we're going to have to be at our best today.

    "It was huge to qualify, a World Cup in India is as big as it gets. To qualify and win those games has been big for us. We feel like we could have played at times but it has been big for us."

    India captain Rohit Sharma: "There's no particular reason, regardless of what happened at the toss we've done extremely well. We want to play well today.

    "We've expressed ourselves in this tournament and today is a good opportunity to tick all the boxes.

    "I'm extremely happy with how we've played in the tournament. When you have a team like that and all the guys take responsibility it makes your job easier as a captain. Credit to the guys."

    India skipper Rohit Sharma gave the coin a toss a little while ago. Scott Edwards called incorrectly.

    Rohit fancies putting a big score on the board and then asking the Dutch to chase it.
