Iyer was impressive yet again. The Indian number 3 hit some lovely shots in his stay in the middle. Iyer targeted the leg side well and took on the Netherlandsbowlers. Iyer hit some huge blows and took the attack on the Dutch bowlers. In his stay in the middle, the Mumbai batter scored an unbeaten 128*(94), which included 10 fours and 5 sixes.

It was the first hundred of Iyer in his World Cup career. After scoring fifty against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and South Africa, Iyer finally got to his first hundred in the ODI World Cup. Iyer is currently the eighth-highest run scorer in the tournament with 421 runs in 9 innings at a batting average of 70.16, at a batting strike rate of 106.58, including a hundred and 3 fifty-plus scores.
