India's spinners hold Netherlands to 189 all out

Slow leftarmer Yuvraj Singh took 2-43 to pass 100 wickets in ODIs and legspinner Piyush Chawla claimed 2-47 as the Dutch were pegged back after a half-century opening stand between Eric Szwarczynski (28) and Wesley Barresi (26).

Captain Peter Borren topscored with 38 to give the score some respectability with his late runs but Zaheer Khan mopped up the tail with 3-20.

India bowled spin for 24 consecutive overs from the sixth to tie down the batters and having opted to bat first, Netherlands collapsed from 99-2 to 108-6 as it tried to accelerate.
