Netherlands shattered India’s hopes with a 2-1 win on Thursday in the quarterfinal to book the last four berth. The Dutch have had a good run in the tournament, barring a defeat to Germany (4-1) in the group stage. In four games, Netherlands have won three and only once they have been on the receiving end.
