The only non-Test nation in action at the World Cup overcame a top-order collapse to post 245 in the shortened contest before dismissing the Proteas for 207.
The Netherlands caused a stunning upset by beating South Africa by 38 runs in a rain-shortened match to inflict a first defeat on the Proteas in the ongoing 50-over World Cup in Dharamsala on Tuesday .
Scott Edwards smashed a captain’s knock of 78 not out to rescue the Netherlands, who were reeling at 5-82 in the 21st over but went on to post a decent total. David Miller and Keshav Maharaj offered some resistance but the Netherlands, the only non-Test playing nation in the tournament, could not be denied.
Kagiso Rabada dismissed Vikramjit Singh for two and South Africa made smart use of reviews to get rid of Max O’Dowd and Bas de Leede .The Netherlands lost the top half of their batting order by the 21st over before Edwards combined with Roelof van der Merwe to plunder 64 runs off 37 balls and take his side past 200.After the spirited fightback in the second half of their innings, the Netherlands players had a spring in their step when they returned to defend the total.
