Rohit Sharma's side has performed exceptionally in the mega event and showed their dominance at home. They did not make any changes to the side in the last match. 

Rohit won the toss and elected to bat first in a good wicket of Bengaluru. The openers Shubman Gill and the skipper himself gave a fiery start again from the top of the order and set a platform for the other batters. They built a 100-run partnership for the first wicket. Both the batters scored half-centuries. 

Virat Kohli also looked in good touch as the former India skipper also scored a fifty as he became the highest run-scorer in the tournament. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul scored hundreds respectively as they stitched a partnership of 208 runs of the 4th wicket and scored 126 runs in the last 10 overs. Both the batters smacked the Dutch bowlers all around the ground.
