Netherlands captain Scott Edwards hailed Tuesday's stunning Cricket World Cup triumph over South Africa as a "big win" as Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma admitted the 38-run loss would "hurt".
There will be honest conversations in the South Africa camp after a stunning 38-run defeat by the Netherlands on Tuesday put the brakes on their impressive Cricket World Cup campaign in India, captain Temba Bavuma said.
The Netherlands arguably produced the biggest upset of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, defeating the unbeaten South Africans to register their first win of the campaign. Defending a total of 245 runs, in a 43-over-per-side contest, the Dutch bowled out the Proteas for just 207 runs. From skipper Scott Edwards to pacer Logan van Beek and spinner Roelof van der Merwe, there were many match-winners for the Netherlands in the contest. One of them was seamer Paul van Meekeren, a guy who delivered food through Uber Eats in 2020 to make ends meet.
Following his side's 38-run win over South Africa in their ICC Cricket World Cup match, Netherlands captain Scott Edwards said that he is proud of the team for their victory and came into the tournament aiming for a shot at the semifinals. A three-wicket haul by Logan van Beek, a half-century by skipper Scott Edwards and an all-round show by Roelof van der Merwe helped the Netherlands beat South Africa at Dharamshala, two days after Afghanistan caused an upset by defeating England.
Former Pakistan cricket team skipper Salman Butt expressed his disappointment at the standard of umpiring in the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023. The dismissals of Steve Smith and Marcus Stoinis during Australia's match against South Africa led to a massive controversy and later, both David Warner and Jonny Bairstow were not happy with the decisions that went against them. Butt believes that the standard of umpiring was not up to the mark or even close to being "world-class" during the India vs Pakistan match as well with Mohammad Rizwan surviving an LBW appeal thanks to a well-taken review.
The Netherlands defeated South Africa by 38 runs at the Cricket World Cup on Tuesday, beating a Test-playing nation at the tournament for the first time. Chasing 246 to win from a rain-reduced 43 overs after Dutch captain Scott Edwards made a crucial 78 not out, South Africa, one of the tournament favourites, were bowled out for 207 in the shadow of the Himalayas. In November last year, the Dutch sent South Africa crashing of the T20 World Cup in Australia. The victory was the World Cup's second major shock in three days after Afghanistan defeated defending champions England on Sunday.
Marcus Smith was among a number of players placed on modified training as preparations began for Saturday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final against South Africa, but England are hopeful he will be fit.
PRESLES COURCELLES, France : The appointment of referee Ben O’Keeffe for a second successive South Africa knockout game at the World Cup will be welcomed by their semi-final opponents England as well, Springboks Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus said on Tuesday.
