South Africa (106/6) defeat Netherlands (103/9) by 4 wickets to register their second win of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[mominsaigol]

off topic - cannot see any SF other than these 4 : IND , AUS , SA & ENG . c @James

If Australia beat England today, they are out.

Rain did England dirty

Kagiso rabada is not a good t20is bowler.
He has mediocre record in international t20is.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is so painful to watch. Even the shots they nail doesn't travel. No value for shots. Timing is completely off for everyone.

 

[Human786]

57/6 in 14

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally a shot that gets some value

 

[Markhor]

Caribbean venues are proper venues lol THey are equally terrible.

Depends where you go. Barbados and St Lucia are usually good venues with the latter offering the quickest and bounciest track in the region.

Guyana has been slow and low for decades, but the Brian Lara ground in Trinidad played okay during the England series.

Don't know what to expect from St Vincent which has only ever hosted 2 T20Is (back in 2013) or North Sound in Antigua which has barely hosted any top level T20I or CPL.

However I'd be surprised if conditions are anywhere as bad as New York. If ICC wanted US co-hosting they should've stuck to Dallas and Florida which are established venues with settled pitches.

 

[Human786]

droppppppppppppppppp

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a crappy pitch as well. Not a T20 pi tch. Not even a Test match pitch. Just a crappy pitch.

Hopefully somehow they score 100 here

Fuller length is easiest on this pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya's into the pitch stuff might work here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bowling full will be punished here

 

[Human786]

mazzak mut samjho - any useful input ? 87/6 - 2 to go

 

[Devadwal]

Pandya's into the pitch stuff might work here

Yes and he has good record against Pakistan both with Ball and bat

 

[Human786]

Rabada has been disappointing since last 2-3 years imo

Nah they still make to next right as Scotland can't win against Australia .

 

[followed]

Lol poor rabada he is not a T20 bowler

 

[Human786]

15 run over by Rabda

 

[Devadwal]

Can't believe Rabada is wicketless on this pitch

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

So Sri Lanka is the worst performing team so far

 

[Human786]

110+ on .... wicket

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Caribbean pitches are definitely better than this. No comparison.

 

[Markhor]

Fighting knock from Engelbrecht on a tough surface. Has given his team something to defend.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Bartman looks like a pie chucker. But due to movement he gets and variation of pace doign well. At some point i expect him to be thrashed by someone like Stoinis.

 

[cricketmania22]

ICC ruined the cricket experience in NY. They are the most incompetent body in any sport.

 

[Devadwal]

Three wickets in last over for Bartman.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The best thing Markram and Walter did is add Baartman to the attack and bench one of Coetzee/Nortje.

Can't afford 2 hit the deck bowlers in these conditions. Need variety in the attack.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

This world cup feels very very weird and boring

 

[FearlessRoar]

Just imagine Chacha playing this sort of shot!

LOL SA starts haha

 

[Markhor]

My boy Vivian Kingma - this guy had our legends shaking in their boots in the 3 match ODI series in 2022 vs Pakistan where he averaged 21.

 

[BDfanforever]

Guys like QDK can't even handle pressure of facing NED in WC. Imagine they face Afghanistan in a venue like Guyana during a knockout matches. Rashid and co would probably toy with them.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone. South Africa are two down
3/2
Choke mode on!!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

ICC ruined the cricket experience in NY. They are the most incompetent body in any sport.

They should have played several matches on this pitch before the world cup.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

2 down

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chasing is harder here. People think it is easy. Only reason it was easy because of below par total. If you put a par total you can easily defend here.

 

[followed]

Lol haha South Africa...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

South Africa

 

[Devadwal]

130 would have make ned favourite here. They are atleast 20 runs shorts

 

[NeVerMind]

This world cup feels very very weird and boring

You were saying?

 

[BDfanforever]

Watch how RSA win chances go from 99% to 9% in no time. Mighty Dutch are their bogie team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If any bowler that seams he will be in business. India lacks unfortunately. Shami is the best seam bowler. Siraj is more a scrambled seam bowler

 

[anakwalajinn]

man how I love these SAF vs NED games!

Come on Dutchmen!!!

 

[Markhor]

Not again surely ?!

 

[BDfanforever]

haha Markham almost out.

Lol yeh hi haal hoga kal babar aur company ka.

That's out. It has to be given out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Umpire it is out. why are you looking at this 100 times

 

[neonoir]

Don't think the Saffers can ever avoid the choker tag!!!

 

[Markhor]

Oh my. 3-3.

Kingma !!!

 

[followed]

Lol South Africa. They are so fun to watch.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Chokers being choker

 

[Nikhil_cric]

3/3

 

[BDfanforever]

All these IPL super stars cant even handle WC pressure against Dutch ahaha

 

[FearlessRoar]

South Africa Netherlands rivalry is bigger than Pak v India lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

I knew chasing is not going to be straight forward even against 120 k deliveries.

 

[Devadwal]

You think chasing 104 is easy
But it's South Africa against Netherlands and the match is in Nassau Stadium

 

[BDfanforever]

Umpire it is out. why are you looking at this 100 times

If it was me, I would say ball seemed to have touched the grass but hard to tell really.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All these IPL super stars cant even handle WC pressure against Dutch ahaha

High time buying Netherland players just to choke South Afircan batsmen Anyway South African batsmen choke even in IPL in crunch game. Klassen choked in the final. Markram choked.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

All these IPL super stars cant even handle WC pressure against Dutch ahaha

They need to emulate the intense environment in the BPL

 

[followed]

They need to get wicket of klassen.

 

[Devadwal]

All these IPL super stars cant even handle WC pressure against Dutch ahaha

Yes like Pakistan superstar were handled against USA.

 

[jnaveen1980]

WHat a name Kingma

 

[jnaveen1980]

If somehow this Kingma reaches the status of Kohli how would they call him? King Kingma?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Does Netherlands have good spin attack?

 

[BDfanforever]

100 is just a feeble total. RSA just need one decent partnership.

 

[BDfanforever]

Does Netherlands have good spin attack?

They have this guy call Pringle who seemed decent against Nepal.

 

[RidiculousMan]

WHat a name Kingma

Real King. Unlike that other Ghanta ka King

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

You were saying?

It still is weird and boring, upsets are one thing. It feels like a lottery tournament

 

[jnaveen1980]

Unlike Asian sides Netherlands are sharp in the field. ALso tactically a good side. That is their strength.

 

[Devadwal]

Ned need two more wickets before 40 runs

 

[RidiculousMan]

On this pitch. Your plan in the powerplay as a batting unit should just be to not lose wickets at all. Just do whatever you can to prevent losing of wickets.
