Ironically, Mandhana fell to a miscued shot having stepped out to legspinner Caroline de Lange, who comfortably emerged as the pick of the Netherlands’ bowlers. Rodrigues then fell to the scoop as she was strangled down leg, before de Lange had Yastika Bhatia, who replaced Bharti Fulmali in the XI, stumped by a mile. That brief lull threatened to stall India’s charge past 200 but Richa Ghosh made Netherlands pay for a dropped catch with a breezy unbeaten 20-run cameo.
