India finish unbeaten despite Sharma's duck

India secured a hard-fought 17-run victory over Netherlands to finish the T20 World Cup group stage unbeaten, despite Rohit Sharma recording his third successive duck.

Shivam Dube's crucial half-century propelled India to victory in their final group match. The all-rounder's performance offset Sharma's continued struggles with the bat, as the team captain failed to score for the third consecutive game.

The result ensures India head into the knockout stages with an unbeaten record, having overcome a challenging contest against the Dutch side.
