In the Cricket World Cup 2023, the Netherlands delivered a stunning performance against South Africa, pulling off a classic upset. Netherlands’ skipper Scott Edwards played a pivotal role with an unbeaten 78 off 69 balls, leading a comeback when the team was struggling at 112-6. The partnership with Roelef van der Merwe, who scored a quick 29 off 19, was crucial. The Dutch team finished at 245-8 in 43 overs, adjusted due to rain.
In defending their total, the Netherlands employed effective spin bowling early in the innings, disrupting the South African top order.
