Cricket World Cup 2023 | With statement win over South Africa, Netherlands shows it’s here to stay

The Hindu  

It wasn’t just the result. But it was the manner in which the Netherlands beat South Africa at Dharamshala on Tuesday to author one of cricket World Cup’s biggest upsets of all time. de Leede, whose father Tim played in three World Cups, took five for 52 with his seam bowling and then smashed 123 off 92 balls to lead his team’s successful chase, which had to be completed inside 44 overs to overtake Scotland on net run-rate and thus qualify for the World Cup. It had also never beaten South Africa ever in ODIs This is not the first time the Dutch proved to be the thorn in the side for the Proteas in a World Cup. In the T20I 2022 edition, Colin Ackermann starred with bat and ball to hand the Netherlands a famous 13-run win More recently, in two memorable games during the World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe, Netherlands defeated the West Indies and Scotland to get on the flight to India That may sound too ambitious, but then, you have to aim for the moon, if you want to hit a star.
