Chawla dismissed good looking ES Szwarczynski for 28 runs. Electing to bat first, Szwarczynski and Wessley Berrasi provided cautious start to Dutch side.
Duo made best opening wicket partnership for the Netherlands in this World Cup. Duo added 56 runs before Szwarczynski failed to read the pet googly from spinner Piyush Chawla.
Earlier, Netherlands skipper Peter Borren won the toss and elected to bat first without any hesitation. The pitch at Feroz Shah Kotla is expected to go slower in the second innings.
Indian skipper MS Dhoni said that he would have wanted to bat first on this track but said that it would be an exposure for the side to chase a total on slow and low track.
There is one change in the Indian side. Ashish Nehra will play his first game of World Cup. Munaf patel has been rested. Dhoni once again showed faith on Piyush Chawla.
