The impact was in front of leg-stump and ball-tracking showed it to be just clipping

What a start for the Netherlands! There was a bit of luck in this dismissal but they won't be complaining.

Aryan Dutt to Abhishek Sharma, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Three ducks in a row. The change of jersey does not work. Aryan Dutt is pumped and so are rest of his teammates. Not the best of starts to the tournament for the World number 1 batter. He is yet to score a run in his first T20 World Cup and walks back dejected - eyes closed and head fallen back.
