That's all from Sydney. Have a quick breather now before switching tabs to follow the Pakistan vs Zimbabwe game. See you then, bye for now!
Rohit Sharma | India captain: Lucky for us, we had a few days to get over that special win. As soon as the game got over, we came to Sydney and regrouped. We have to move on now, and the focus was on this game where we wanted to come out and get those two points. I thought it was a clinical win. Looking at the way they have qualified for the Super 12s, credit to them. We however always looked to what we can do with ourselves, not bother about the opposition. To be honest, this was a near perfect win. Yes, we played a little slow at the start but that was the conversation between me and Virat, we had to wait on that surface to play the big shots. Not too happy with my fifty, but what's important is getting runs - doesn't matter if they are good looking runs or ugly runs. At the end of the day, it is about keeping the confidence up.
Scott Edwards | Netherlands captain: Definitely the noisiest (atmosphere), some of the chants that were going around made it difficult to speak to the players sometimes, but it was an awesome experience. We came here to win and put on a good performance, but against these sort of sides you have to be on the money or they make you pay. The way those two batters played in the end and took them to 180, it was always going to be tricky. We bowled reasonably well but if you don't get the wickets and with the batting order they have, it was always going to be tough to restrict them. It gets bigger and better, doesn't it. Looking forward to it (the Pakistan game) and hopefully we can put up a better performance.
Suryakumar Yadav | Player of the Match: I was just trying to express myself when I went in to bat. The situation was very simple, I just had to up the tempo at that time. I took one ball today (to get going), but the message was loud and clear. We had to get about 8-10 an over and get a total which our bowlers could defend easily. Very happy with the way things went. Really enjoying batting with him (Kohli), the thoughts are very clear when we both are batting. If I get few boundaries earlier then our partnership needs to be stretched and that's what we are doing.
21:24 Local Time, 10:24 GMT, 15:54 IST: Fairly comfortable for India, they didn't really have to break a sweat while bowling after getting 179 on the board. It started off with another paltry score for KL Rahul up top, as the Dutch bowled some tight lines and gave no pace for the Indian batters to break free. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli found the going tough for the first 10 overs or so, but the Indian skipper managed to get a 50, albeit slightly patchy. He was dismissed in the 12th over, and out walked Suryakumar Yadav who once again made it look like he was batting on a different surface. Yadav whipped out his trademark scoops and drives, as he got to a 25-ball fifty. At the other end, Virat Kohli made it back-to-back fifties as the duo ensured India finished strong. In reply, the Dutch allowed Bhuvi Kumar to start off to two maiden overs, as Vikramjit Singh also gave up his wicket. Max O'Dowd was then bowled round his legs by Axar Patel, who also claimed the wicket of Bas de Leede. The left-arm spinner had a better evening today than on Sunday, as he and Ashwin conceded just 39 runs in their eight overs while picking up four wickets. The chase never got going as Netherlands kept losing wickets at regular intervals, often in clusters. Shariz Ahmed and Van Meekeren swung their willows at the death to entertain the ones that stayed, but it was still a formidable victory for India. All their bowlers chipped in today, as this clinical performance helped them move to the top of the table.
