ICC World Cup 2023: Netherland (245/8) beat in-form South Africa (207 all out) by 38 runs to win their first match of the tournament

[jnaveen1980]

South africans perennial chokers even if they chase this.

They ain't winning anything.

Jansen averages 38 in india
Rabada is average in India

Ngidi is ok but he is an average bowler
coetze is raw.

We should go with
Wasim jnr
Shaheen
Rauf
Hasan

Go all out pace if we play on a fast pitch. Or any pitches in North side of india.

No go with off spinner upfront. New ball.

 

[apnapind]

No go with off spinner upfront. New ball.

What do you reckon here bro on this pitch south africa might choke here?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Won't rule out since they are chasing for the first time. I have watched Netherlands before. They are tactically very good even better than many regular nations. They use the match up very well.

If qdk, rvd go early. They will be in trouble. Klassen is a 50 50 player. Miller can hit big but he is poor vs pace and bounce.

Ned bowlers are not bad.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Why spin?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Temba classic

 

[deltexas]

Bavuma tuk tuk maiden 1st over. Like seriously. No place for tuk tuk openers in the modern game. Also Netherlands opener Singh is a big tuk tuk guy as well.

 

[batandballbattle]

No way SA will choke this, that'll wait until the semis

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Dutt better than anyone we have

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Get innnn

 

[apnapind]

Man what is going on here de kock gone.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

43% now boys

 

[Sunzi]

Game on.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

47%....

 

[NeVerMind]

Man what is going on here de kock gone.

Seems like you are new to the way the Saffers play cricket in World Tournaments

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

NL should not dismiss bavuma if they want to win

 

[Ahmed216]

De kock was batting so freely in first 2 games but today he was equally tentative and circumspect.
The CHOKE is ON

 

[apnapind]

Seems like you are new to the way the Saffers play cricket in World Tournaments

Haha i know bro they choke but surely they cant loose to netherlands here.

 

[apnapind]

Bavuma gone here

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yessss

 

[Ali Active]

Upsets will be nice here

 

[Smbhayi]

Can they can stun saffers?

 

[Ali Active]

good that we have beaten netherlands atleast won’t have to worry about them

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Can they can stun saffers?

Its on baby

 

[nish_mate]

Oi Balle Balle Balle.... or whatever the Dutch cricket cry is!!!!!

 

[apnapind]

Yessss

You dont want sa to win their first world cup?

 

[NeVerMind]

Bavuma bowled! Game on!

 

[Sunzi]

And Bavuma goes

 

[ahmed16]

Saffers going to choke again?

 

[Nado_]

Netherlands if they had a couple of world class players , just a couple , they will be something .

This team is decent , they do the basics right and are smart, they just have a few passengers like that mr Singh.

I do expect them to pull off one upset at least, maybe not saffers but who knows maybe England!! Lol

 

[NeVerMind]

Haha i know bro they choke but surely they cant loose to netherlands here.

This did it in the last T20 World Cup so hardly a new thing...also the shorter the format, the more chance for the minnow team

 

[GLORY OF '92]

You dont want sa to win their first world cup?

Why would I want that? Keep 'em down.

 

[Smbhayi]

Netherlands field placements were brilliant in this world cup so far..

 

[GLORY OF '92]

52%....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Get Markram and Klassen theybare toast. They have off spinner rto take care of Miller.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Yesssss

 

[Ali Active]

Netherlands ke karishmey
Markarm gone
huge upset

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol.. sa..

 

[battler]

Its on baby

If SA choke this and Pak manages to beat Aus on Friday then Pakistan will most likely make it to the semis

 

[nish_mate]

Oh youuuuuuuuuuuu Dutchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh beuaaaaaaaaaaaaatieeessssssss


Balle Balle Balle

 

[jnaveen1980]

Netherlands field placements were brilliant in this world cup so far..

They were very good in the qualifier too with slick field placement. Right guy in right place

 

[pakistanisgreat]

SA is in trouble now.

 

[Nado_]

Against SENA all you need is a spinner who can turn a bit and is accurate. This is where we are missing the trick by not picking our test spinner Abrar.

 

[Smbhayi]

That is markram too, they're in serious trouble..

 

[pakistanisgreat]

last 14 balls 3 wickets.

 

[Sunzi]

Omg. Markram lol

 

[Nado_]

I know a lot of the South Africans have Dutch ancestry but come on guys

 

[apnapind]

Man surely they smashed aussies how can they even loose to ned this is mind blowing.

 

[RamLakhan]

Looks like South Africa is Netherland's bunny!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Cricket is all about momentum. Netherlands carried that momentum from last 5 overs of their innings
No surprise if they can once again beat Ultimate tournament chokers

Look how fiery Meekeren is bowling to Klaasen

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

SA choking

 

[Ali Active]

only india have looked unbeatable
It will be solely due to indian choke if they fail to win this whole thing

 

[GLORY OF '92]

3 more

 

[RamLakhan]

only india have looked unbeatable
It will be solely due to indian choke if they fail to win this whole thing

NZ are also doing fine! India are worried only about their, sure we are going to lose to them at least one out of league or knockout!

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Come on NL ...Bag this on..3 more wickets

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol hahaha

 

[nish_mate]

YES

Dutch lions are roaring, Dharamsala dhol are dholing, South Africans are choking!!!!

 

[Ali Active]

another gone

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

4 down

 

[pakistanisgreat]

OMG what's going on. lol SA is sinking

 

[Mockingbird]

Carnage!

 

[Sunzi]

What the hell! RvD

 

[shah_1]

What a game

Love such games. Hopefully Dutch can win this. The WC semi final spot will be wide open for every team apart from India(confirmed to be in Semi final)

 

[Ali Active]

NZ are also doing fine! India are worried only about their, sure we are going to lose to them at least one out of league or knockout!

Nz vs india will be most competitive match of tournament.
pak will most likely sneak into semis and in semis it’s anyone’s game

 

[Sherazkhalid]

what was that shot? SA getting cold feet.

 

[Technics 1210]

Would this be classified as an upset (if NL win) given last year?

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Dutch courage, eh, eh?!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

With this upset, this tournament can be the most thrilling and widely open world cup ever.
India and Newzealand will sure to qualify for semis and all 8 teams will have equal chances to qualify

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Told you bunch of chokers never gonna win the WC.

 

[kron]

That is their level. Pathetic losers. Chokers.

Klaasen bavuma markram are all mediocre players. Can only hit on flat pitches. That too only if there is limited bounce.

They can't play spin on turners, can't play bounce on super bouncy pitches, can't play swing either. Same as England.

 

[Ali Active]

one thing’s for sure this worldcup will be most competitive worldcup of all time expect more upsets

 

[nish_mate]

A for Apples
B for Bavuma
C for Choker

 

[pakistanisgreat]

SA is in deep trouble.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

78%....

 

[FearlessRoar]

Van de Marwe!! Biggest nightmare for South Africa

 

[Smbhayi]

Ex-SA player choking SA here..

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

SA shaking

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not even funny anymore

 

[kron]

Told you bunch of chokers never gonna win the WC.

Aus
India
Sa
Pak

Still think SA will squeak by England. Nz will get their routine pasting vs us and aus. They will likely lose to India this time. So they should bomb out too

 

[Ali Active]

Not even funny anymore

Whats funny we already have seen more such upsets
like
Afg beating Eng
india beating pak
this wc is wc of upsets
