South Africa vs Netherlands Previous Encounters: The Netherlands’ Upsets:
On 6 November 2022, the Netherlands played their third T20 World Cup match against South Africa. The Netherlands, who first qualified for the World Cup and then passed the first round, also defeated Zimbabwe in the Super-12. At the same time, South Africa had defeated Pakistan and entered the field. South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first. The Netherlands got off to a good start scoring 48 runs in the powerplay. Myburgh and Dawood put on a 58-run partnership for the first wicket, followed by Colin Ackerman, who came in at number four, with a quick 41 to take the team to 158.
In reply, Africa lost two wickets for 39 runs. Wickets kept falling every 2 to 3 overs. The team needed 40 runs in the last 3 overs. But with Logan Beak conceding just 6 runs in the 18th over, Africa came under pressure and lost the match by 13 runs.
A year later, the Netherlands again denied South Africa their target of 246 runs in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Netherlands captain Scott Edwards played an unbeaten knock of 78 runs and was the star of the match. South Africa will want to avenge both their defeats in this match today.
