India completed a flawless World Cup group stage by hammering the Netherlands by 160 runs in Bengaluru.
The hosts made it nine wins out of nine games after posting a huge 50-over total of 410-4, just three runs shy of their World Cup best against Bermuda in 2007. Shreyas Iyer top-scored with an unbeaten 128 from 94 balls and KL Rahul completed his century in the final over before being dismissed for 102. Rahul reached his hundred in 62 balls - the fastest by an Indian batter at a World Cup - and his fourth-wicket partnership of 208 with Iyer took the game away from the Dutch.
Teja Nidamanuru and Sybrand Engelbrecht offered resistance as Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets apiece, while Kohli claimed his ODI wicket since 2014. Sharma: 'India clinical from game one'India captain Rohit Sharma: 'Since we started the tournament it was always about taking one game at a time and playing that game well. 11 games in all if you go all the way, that's a lot of games.
