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

[RidiculousMan]

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

Yep. That's why Nepal couldn't win against Ned

 

[jnaveen1980]

Their off side field set is spot on. Coves every angle

 

[BDfanforever]

Shahid Afridi doesn't seem to age, still looking sharp in one of these ad.

 

[BDfanforever]

HAHAHAHAH Klassen

 

[RidiculousMan]

King + Ma doing it for Netherlands. What more can you need in life.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well Well Well lol Atleast NZ was up against unplayable stuffs. These are not unplayable stuffs. Pure self-imploding. Gentle 125 k dibbly dobbly stuffs

 

[Kroll]

Oh wow! Netherlands want to retake New York and claim it back as New Amsterdam!

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

4 down ???

Bro We all talk about pak loss to usa which was in super over are we gonna just keep our eyes shut sa is about to loose 2nd time in t20 world cup against ned lol

 

[followed]

Pakistani fielder would have dropped this catch for sure.
Brilliant from nederlands.

I fear for them when Van Meekeran comes in.

This is not a surprise. This was kinda expected as they lost their two encounters against them.

 

[RidiculousMan]

On this ground it is easier to play behind the wicket keeper than any part of the ground. Kind of like playing on the V behind you. Surya Kumar Yadav range.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I fear for them when Van Meekeran comes in.

Here he is. wicket to wicket. Very tough bowler to face in certain conditions.

 

[apnapind]

This is not a surprise. This was kinda expected as they lost their two encounters against them.

Why is that though bro they got most powerfull lineup should win this world cup?

choking. Even in IPL i have seen all the south africans choke in important matches.

 

[Devadwal]

USA defeated PAK.
Scotland defeated Namibia.
Canada defeated Ireland.
Afghanistan defeated New Zealand.
Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka.
Can Netherlands defeat South Africa??

Blockbuster this weekend in the T20I World Cup

 

[apnapind]

choking. Even in IPL i have seen all the south africans choke in important matches.

So that means having like beast like klassen miller and other are nithing if you cant handle your nerves?

 

[Devadwal]

South Africa just score 16 runs in PP and lost 4 wickets

 

[jnaveen1980]

So that means having like beast like klassen miller and other are nithing if you cant handle your nerves?

Yes. But having them along with mentally tough players will work. He can complement them. But when you look at SA all chokers are in the same team lol In my memory Rassie vander dussen is the only guy who somewhat handles the pressure well. Worst guy is QDK.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Why does South Africa become a minnow against the Netherlands?

16-4 in the PowerPlay.

That has been the challenge. South Africa would kill to be 16-1 here.

Teams should aim to just survive in the powerplay. Kind of like Rizwan - Babar style.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Does Netherlands have good spin attack?

Pringle is a good spinner.

Bro you see having monster hitters like sa has are nothing if they cant handle world cup pressure.

 

[jnaveen1980]

South Africa just score 16 runs in PP and lost 4 wickets

This is mediocrity of the highest standard.

 

[BDfanforever]

So that means having like beast like klassen miller and other are nithing if you cant handle your nerves?

No, they are very good players. They will entertain in majority of the matches. In crunch games they might choke though.

Sharma gets his on the shoulder icc bccI personally go to the pitch to make it flat for tomorrow.. icc trophy’s are handed to you on a plate yet Kohli & co still choke.

So now we realise babar and riz importance because of pitches bro So you reckon tomorrow they will be key against india?

 

[Devadwal]

Nederlands need just two more wickets and then South Africa tail will start

I know USA defeat still hurting .so calm down enjoy the world T20

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is mediocrity of the highest standard.

It's just the pitch. It's hard to score

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even by ODI standard this run rate is poor

 

[jnaveen1980]

De leede almost got the edge

 

[neonoir]

Netherlands one wicket from the tail next few overs will decide the game

 

[Devadwal]

Even by ODI standard this run rate is poor

Run rate is not a problem ,they need a partnership .they are just chasing 104 .

 

[RidiculousMan]

So now we realise babar and riz importance because of pitches bro So you reckon tomorrow they will be key against india?

I think so. While I favor India by a big margin. Rizwan and Babar are key for Pakistan on this pitch. The reliability factor. If you can ever trust it. It's tomorrow.

But it will also depend on score. If Pakistan are batting first. Can they score 130-140? Because 70-80 or even a 100 runs target for India is going to be comfortable with their strong batting.

So while batting first, try to get to that 140 mark. If you are chasing. Look to concede no more than 120.

 

[jnaveen1980]

S

Run rate is not a problem ,they need a partnership .they are just chasing 104 .

It will be a problem if they keep piling dots.

 

[sindhiboy]

even the last wc had very bowler friendly pitches. but some of the pitches in this wc have been ridiculous.
id prefer these pitches in odis and tests, not t20s

 

[jnaveen1980]

Netherlands fielding is making the task even harder.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Netherlands one wicket from the tail next few overs will decide the game

If I recall correctly. Miller came in a similar situation in 2022 WT20 vs Netherlands and he chocked it before South Africa could accelerate towards the chase.

Right now their plan seem to be to reach 30/4 at the end of 10th over mark and then look to chase the remaining 73 runs in the last 10 with Miller at the crease to power them through with pitch becoming better.

 

[Devadwal]

S

It will be a problem if they keep piling dots.

As ball becomes old runs start coming easily. And RRR is still less than 7 so they just need 40 runs partnership

 

[RidiculousMan]

Netherlands fielding is making the task even harder.

They are really giving it on this sandy field.

 

[Devadwal]

Miller release all the pressure with a glorious boundary.

 

[Mamoon]

@Rana

I thought South Africa played modern cricket?

One track mind fans are quiet because they can’t blame Babar today.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Miller will win it for SA

 

[jnaveen1980]

As ball becomes old runs start coming easily. And RRR is still less than 7 so they just need 40 runs partnership

yea. That is why i was asking how their spin attack is.

 

[James]

Netherlands are South Africa’s bogey team… this could be a very close finish

 

[jnaveen1980]

2 more wickets. Especially stubbs and miller. SA will be massively in trouble.

 

[BDfanforever]

Which European country are these South African originally from?

 

[Rana]

@Rana

They don’t play modern cricket because they flopped on a landmine?

 

[RidiculousMan]

The way I see it. On this pitch you should look at the last 10 overs scenario if you are chasing target.

Lets say you are chasing 130. Now with your XI, you should aim for a total that you can chase it down in the last 10 overs and also account for the number of wickets you need.

If lets say you think you can chase maximum of 80 runs in the last 10 with no more than 3 wickets lost, then you need to be on at least 50 runs mark at the end of first 10 overs.

 

[Devadwal]

On this ground first batting team should look for 140 score .this is enough score here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Which European country are these South African originally from?

Dutch descent predominantly.

 

[cricketmania22]

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

Yea for that they should have finished it preparing in early spring.

 

[Mamoon]

They don’t play modern cricket because they flopped on a landmine?

You would throwing tantrums if it was Pakistan vs Netherlands on this pitch.

I will always expose the agendas of one track mind fans.

 

[jnaveen1980]

72 needed in 10 overs. looks easy. But SA is two wickets away from imploding.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

If Pak score 120 tomorrow batting first on this wicket, they will win. Kohli is only Indian batsman who can bat 20 overs here.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

72 needed in 10 overs. looks easy. But SA is two wickets away from imploding.

Never underestimate choking ability of SA.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

SA will win it with 10 balls to spare

 

[RidiculousMan]

Singles and doubles are key here. Teams are usually going at about 4-5 runs per over. If boundaries are hard to come by then you focus on the 1s and 2s. If you push hard you can even get an 8-9 runs per over just by running alone. But you need good endurance, stamina and placement skill to be able to do that.

 

[ahmed16]

If this is the pitch that Pak vs Ind is happening on tomorrow then theres no doubt imo: win toss and bat first. Pakistan don't have the batsmen to chase anything more than 120 on this sort of pitch against Bumrah and Co. Bat first, aim for 150 and hope your four seamers can defend.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Feels like a tactical error from Netherlands skipper by leaving plenty of his weaker bowlers overs for the last 10. Should have bowled a few when Miller came at the crease.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pitch is much easier to bat now. Game is in South Africa's pocket with run a ball requirement.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Credit to Netherlands for stretching this game.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

How many times has Miller rescued SA like this?

 

[hassan918]

29 runs required in the last 5 overs. We can have another super over finish here.

 

[sindhiboy]

Stubbs looks quality. Has been decent in fc and for SA A as well

 

[RidiculousMan]

van Meekeren bowled a maiden over against Miller. This was 16th over of the match.

 

[Devadwal]

Target is not enough. 125 would have make game more interesting .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Target is not enough. 125 would have make game more interesting .

They didn't throw in the towel.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Stubbs gone! After playing a maiden over, the pressure goes back to South Africa and they give a wicket away. Jansen in next. Are South Africa choking?

If they get Miller right now it will become spicy again. Usually Miller just needs 4 balls in these situations

 

[jnaveen1980]

17th over 78 runs. That is some nervous chase.

 

[RidiculousMan]

If they get Miller right now it will become spicy again. Usually Miller just needs 4 balls in these situations

Yea but on this pitch fours are hard to get and sixes are much more riskier.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Virat Kohli dropped a sitter in similar situation in the last world T20. He dropped Markram which cost us the game.

 

[Devadwal]

South Africa need 25 from 3 over .
Miller is standing between Netherlands win

 

[jnaveen1980]

How the heck RRR is over 8 lol SA may win it. But this is a proper choke job.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is Ponting sitting here commentating SA vs Ned match not Eng vs OZ match

 

[Devadwal]

How the heck RRR is over 8 lol SA may win it. But this is a proper choke job.

They required 29 from 5 over but they play a lot dot balls

 

[jnaveen1980]

Over ambitious delivery. Mis directed
