The speedster for Team India is winning over both Indian and Dutch supporters with his kind gesture following the India vs. Netherlands ODI World Cup 2023 match. Mohammed Shami made headlines when he was observed chatting with inexperienced bowlers who were hoping to pick up some tips from Mohammed Shami, the swing master.
Speaking of the Men in Orange’s performance, they were unable to halt the Men in Blue, who have been playing in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 in some concerning form. The fact that Team India has won every game they have played in the league stage thus far and is still undefeated speaks volumes about the extent of their dominance. After asking to field first, skipper Rohit Sharma and partner Shubman Gill criticized the Netherlands bowlers. Rohit Sharma and Gill took the bowlers to task once more.

Because of their respective half-centuries, Team India was able to get off to a strong start with a 100-run stand. The Dutch bowlers’ suffering, however, did not stop there because Virat Kohli made sure to keep the scoreboard running until Van der Merwe dismissed him after he reached his half-century. The Dutch bowlers had no idea, though, that India still possessed more firepower to put their bowling unit through hell. With magnificent centuries from KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, India managed to amass an incredible 410 in 50 overs.
In an oddly silent ODI World Cup 2023 matchup with the Netherlands, Mohammed Shami failed to claim a wicket.
Mohammed Siraj’s early elimination of Wesley Barresi for just four runs dealt a blow to the Netherlands’ pursuit. In their massive run pursuit, Max O’Dowd and Colin Ackermann put up some opposition up front to try to keep the Dutch side in the hunt, but the strain of a massive score never subsided. Surprisingly, elite batsmen were given opportunities to participate in bowling experiments by host skipper Rohit Sharma. Mohammed Shami was therefore unable to complete his allotted 10 overs of bowling. In addition, after playing brilliantly for Team India in the preceding ODI World Cup 2023 matches, Mohammed Shami lost wicketless after giving up 41 runs at an economy of 6.83 over his six overs.
More than half of the Indian team was bowling for fun as the wickets kept dropping, but Sybrand Engelbrecht held the fort at one end. Teja Nidamanuru led his team in scoring with 54 runs off just 39 balls, which featured six massive sixes and a boundary, but the Dutch side persisted till the very end.
Key batsmen Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli rolling their arms for India was the moment of surprise. After a nine-year break from bowling, Kohli took a crucial wicket of Scott Edwards, the captain of the Netherlands. The excitement did not stop there, as India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, also took the final wicket to end the match. In the grand knockout stage of the current ODI World Cup 2023, the hosts will now play New Zealand. On Wednesday, November 15, at Mumbai’s renowned Wankhede Stadium, the two teams will play in the semifinals.
