Join us again tomorrow as New Zealand take on Afghanistan at the Chepauk Stadium, Chennai with the match scheduled to start at 2 PM.
Till then it's goodbye and goodnight!
Over the last couple of games too many of our middle order batters were being out before the end of the game, so I wanted to take it deep and hope a couple of guys around me chip in and we are lucky enough to get that score in the end. He's (Roelof van der Merwe) good fun to bat with, he runs hard and hits into some strange areas which is good fun to watch from the other end.it I just got him (Aryan Dutt) on strike and he was clearing the ropes, he's got the talent and it's all there to see tonight. Proud of the group. We came into the tournament where we wanted to have a chance in the semi finals and if you wanna do that you gotta beat teams and South Africa are one of the favourites the way they are playing, so it is a good win for us.Scott Edwards - Player of the Match
What a victory this is for Netherlands! They beat South Africa at the T20 World Cup and have now done it on the biggest stage in ODIs.
South Africa were poor in all departments but the Dutch were right on their game. Logan van Beek (3/60) leads the wicket-taking charts for Netherlands but Paul van Meekeren (2/40) and Roelof van der Merwe (2/34) both played key roles in defending this total.
The victory means Netherlands pick up their first win of World Cup 2023 and move out of bottom spot on the table. South Africa who could've moved up to top spot with a win are instead handed their first defeat of the tournament but remain in third spot for now.
42.5 - WICKET! Maharaj c Edwards b van Beek 40 (37)
van Beek seals a famous victory! He sends down a sharp short ball down leg and Maharaj looks to ramp it over the keeper but only gloves it back to Edwards who takes the catch and wheels away to celebrate.
42.4 - SIX! Maharaj makes room and slaps it high back over de Leede for a maximum.
42.3 - FOUR! This time Maharaj gets a thick edge to send it flying over backward point. This is all damage control to their Net Run Rate for South Africa.
42.2 - No run, Maharaj backs away to make room but de Leede follows him to beat the inside edge.
42.1 - No run, van Beek bangs it short and Maharaj goes for the upper cut but misses.
South Africa need 49 runs as we enter the final over.
41.6 - 2 runs, beautiful straight drive from Ngidi to send it racing down the ground.
41.5 - 1 run, Maharaj gets a thick top-edge on the pull but again it lands safely at deep fine leg.
41.4 - No run, a wild swing and a miss from Maharaj as de Leede slips in a slower ball.
41.3 - 2 runs, Maharaj skips down the track and lifts it over extra cover where it lands safely between three fielders.
41.2 - 1 run, Ngidi slices the short ball to sweeper cover.
41.1 - No run, de Leede starts off with a short delivery that flies past Ngidi.
