T20 WC: Kohli slams second half-century in tournament

As part of the ongoing T20 World Cup in Australia, ace batsman Virat Kohli extended his hot streak on Thursday by recording his second consecutive half-century.

In India's second match against the Netherlands at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Kohli, who had a game-winning 82 not out against Pakistan the previous week, smashed 62* off just 44 balls and led his team to a respectable total of 179/2 in 20 overs. In front of a crowded SCG, Kohli came out to bat and was greeted enthusiastically by the crowd.

India decided to bat first, and KL Rahul got out early. However, Kohli and Rohit Sharma had a 73-run partnership, with the Indian captain adding 50 more runs to the total.

Despite Rohit's dismissal at position 53, Kohli kept up his heroics. Suryakumar Yadav then joined him in the middle, coming back with a quickfire half-century. Suryakumar, who was out against Pakistan for a cheap dismissal, scored 51 from 25 balls as India pounded over 112 runs in the final 10 overs.

As a result of losing two early wickets, the Netherlands needed to score more runs per over.

India is strong favourites to continue their winning streak in Group 2 against a Dutch team that put up a valiant effort to defeat Bangladesh by nine runs on Monday. The Dutch team battled hard to advance from the preliminary round.
