"It's a matter of BCCI and the board will look into it to make comments. India is a land of sports, where not only one but many World Cups have been hosted and the next World Cup too will be hosted in India with teams from around the world participating in it," said Thakur.
Both teams traded points to kick off the game, and much like the evening's first game, both defences were lax in their application, allowing raiders the opportunity to add to their tallies with ease.
The Netherlands have secured two wins but their net run rate is poor compared to other teams in the group. Hence the match holds importance for the Dutch team as well.
A cautious start by both teams led to a slow low scoring first half. The pick of the raiders was Puneri Paltan's Mohit Goyat, whose constant touchpoints kept the Titans on their toes, but never really put them in true danger of an All Out.
Australia, Belgium, Netherlands, India, Argentina, Germany, New Zealand, England, France, Korea, Malaysia, Spain, South Africa, Japan, Chile and Wales are the 16 teams, who will be competing in the tournament.

Indian team which is captained by Unnati Hooda and Anupama Upadhyay, is the fifth-seeded team and has been placed in Group B with Slovenia, Australia, China, and Iceland. 38 teams have been divided into eight groups for the competition.
It is India's second loss after the 8-0 defeat to the USA and it has left them at the bottom of the group with no points. India is out of the race for the quarterfinal as only two top teams from each group progress further
