The match got a little delayed due to rain and overs were reduced to 43 from 50. The South African skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and put Netherlands to bat first which was a good decision as South African bowlers bowled brilliantly and there was a time when everybody felt that the Netherlands team would get out within 200 runs. However, the Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards had different plans and he countered the Proteas bowlers effectively and played an unbeaten knock of 78 runs (69 balls, 10 fours & 1 six). Scott was well-supported by Roelof van der Merwe and Aryan Dutt as both of them played quick knocks of (29 runs, 19 balls, 3 fours & 1 six) and (23* runs, 9 balls, 3 sixes), respectively.

Netherlands managed to put up a competitive total of 245/8 in their 43 overs which was not difficult for the Proteas to chase but they had a very bad start as their in-form batter Quinton de Kock got out for 20 runs and the skipper Temba Bavuma (16 runs) also failed to make a big score.

Wickets kept falling regularly as no South African batter was able to play a winning knock, though David Miller (43 runs, 52 balls, 4 balls,1 six) and Keshav Maharaj (40 runs, 37 balls,  5 fours & 1 six) played useful knocks yet it was not enough and the whole team got out for 207 runs.

As Netherlands scripted history by defeating South Africa by 38 runs, X was flooded with reactions and here are some selected tweets:

The skipper Temba Bavuma was quite hurt with his team’s performance and it was not just batting but their fielding was also below the mark and how pathetic their bowling was can be understood by the fact that they gave 32 extra runs which included 21 wides and 1 no ball.

Hopefully, South Africa will learn from their mistakes that they made in this match. Congratulations Netherlands!
