van Beek to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run, gets it down to deep mid for a single. Another delivery slapped across the line sans much timing and placement

van Beek to Rahul, 1 run, to long-on
40.3
van Beek to Rahul, FOUR, batting is the easiest art. Rahul is the teacher. Barely anything has ruffled him up this tourney. Was a slower delivery on the pads, Rahul clipped it wide of short fine and got it away to a four. Lovely touchplay

Still plenty of overs to go. If India explode, they might as well target 380 plus.
Over Summary (31-40); Phase winner - India – Dutch spinners bowl a few tight overs – Iyer gets to his fifty in the 34th over – India continue to pile on the runs – 73 runs scored with no loss of wickets
Abinash Das: "Another great thing for the Indian batting that has gone under the radar is Shreyas's return to form. In knockouts, there might be moments against the run of play and it will be then the responsibility of the collective unit to bail the team out."
