The Netherlands delivered a shocking upset, defeating the formidable South African cricket team by a margin of 38 runs in a truncated ICC World Cup match on Tuesday at Dharamsala. Batting first, the Dutch had scored 245 for eight. The match began late owing to inclement weather, and when the game finally started, it was reduced to a 43-over-a-side contest.
Earlier, South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl. Scott Edwards top-scored for the Netherlands with a 69-ball 78. South African pace spearhead Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen enjoyed successful outings, finishing with figures of 2/56 and 2/28 respectively. South Africa made one change, replacing Tabraiz Shamsi with Gerald Coetzee. The Netherlands too made a replacement, bringing in Logan van Beek in place of Ryan Klein.
