ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, India vs Netherlands, Match Report: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Spinners seal India’s thumping win over Netherlands

Ironically, Mandana fell to an errant shot after being out to leg-spinner Caroline de Lange, who comfortably emerged as the choice of the Dutch bowlers. Rodriguez then fell into a scoop as she was choked down the leg, before de Lange tripped Yastika Bhatia, who had replaced Bharti Phulmali in the 11th, by a mile. That brief lull threatened to halt India’s lead after 200 metres, but Richa Ghosh made Holland pay for the dropped catch with an unbeaten 20-run over.
