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

Game is all but over. Well played Neds.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What an effort on the boundary

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bowled! Miller still at the crease. 16 needed off 13. One over has to be bowled by a spinner or a non regular medium pacer.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nervous SA fans.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Single denied. Miller wants to do this on his own. 16 needed off the last 2 overs. All main pacers of Netherlands bowled out. South Africa favorites as Miller is there

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dreadful ball

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA is yet to touch 100. 19th over !!

Miller the Killer

 

[jnaveen1980]

SHould have bowled wide yorkers

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Am i the only vote for SA win

 

[RidiculousMan]

Match winning 50 by Miller. Just 4 needed now!

Excellent innings by Miller to rescue South Africa.

Netherlands have already beaten their Afrikaner cousins in the last World Cup and gave them a very close chase today.

Similar rivalry as Pakistan-Afghanistan even though Afghanistan is clearly heads and shoulders above Pakistan these days.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Six to finish off the match! South Africa finally get over Netherlands in World Cups

Miller playing on a different pitch?

Finally broke the curse against Neds.

 

[Markhor]

Miller redeeming himself after failing to take SAF home in 2022.

Well done SAF.

Miller playing on a different pitch?

SA was unnecessraily nervous. May be because of the last two losses.

That was another close finish but Miller's experience made the different at the end.

South Africa still have to face Mustafizur and co. on this pitch. This uneven bounce surface bridges the gap between sides a lot.

They should scrape out another win here somehow.

They'll get better pitches after that.

Bangladesh fielding is nowhere close to Netherlands fielding. Also tactically BD is not exactly the best side.

Their bowling is good enough to cause problems in this pitch.

A moment of relief for South Africa as they beat their jinx out

Miller steers South Africa to victory despite scare from Netherlands in crucial Group D T20 World Cup fixture

Aiden Markram opted to put Netherlands in to bat in New York in the Group D game.

After ten overs, South Africa had staggered to 32-4 as Tristan Stubbs and Miller attempted to steady the ship.

But Stubbs fell in the 17th over for 33, caught by Van Beek from a De Leede delivery, with 27 more runs still required from the final 22 balls.

Jansen was the next man in and wanted to finish with a flourish, but found himself bowled by an angled delivery from Van Beek as he looked to hit out.

It was left to Miller to get the job done, with two sixes and a four in the 19th over to take South Africa over the line.
