The match is being delayed due to rain. South Africa  won the toss and decided to field. I don't know why they decided to field. Because  in the first two matches they were able to bat first and collect huge. They scored 400+ in the  first match and 300+ in the second match against Australia. And both matches were won by South Africa by 100+ runs. I thought  I might see some great batting from South Africa today. But the South African captain won the toss and decided  to field. The match is delayed due to rain.  Maybe it will start soon. If they win today's match, the South African team  will go to the top of the points table.

The match was supposed to start at 1:30 and now the one and half hours was passed and we didn't see a single ball because of the rain and bad weather conditions . Dharamsala weather is not good today. Right now, the weather in Dharamsala is on 14 degrees. Actually, Dharamsala is a cold and cool weather state in India in Dharamsala the mostly weather is on low pressure that’s why Dharamsala weather is cold and dry. Anyway, this is a cricket post, not a geography study post so we should talk about the cricket match, but the match is not start so we don’t have anything to say about the match.

The match has started. And the match will be held in 43 overs. There are more advantages for South Africa to win this match.
Netherlands openers are batting cautiously. They managed to score 21 runs in 5 overs without losing any wicket. I think Netherlands' target in this match is to give Descent a target to make the match competitive. With a weak and inexperienced squad as Netherlands know well, South Africa cannot be beaten now. Because South Africa are now at the peak of form. South Africa will maintain consistency in today's match if no miracle happens. And will win by a big margin. It will be difficult for the Netherlands batsmen to collect 200 runs against the South African bowlers.

In the match between South Africa and the Netherlands, SA won the toss and decided to bowl first. SA is going with an extra pacer. There will be help for fast bowlers early on. The conditions are still overcast, and the chances of rain interruption are there. SA is the hot favourite to win this contest until and unless rain plays its part. This would be a big blow for SA if the match washed out. Hopefully, we will see a result in the end.

Update: The rain has returned and the covers are back on. ( ESPN Cricinfo)

I am quite surprised that South Africa dropped Tabraiz Shamsi. He did a very decent job during last match (7.5-0-38-2 against Australia, picking up the wickets of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood). The combination of Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj troubled the Australian batsmen, and they were bowled out for just 177 runs. Therefore it was surprising that they included Gerald Coetzee instead of Shamsi for today's match. BTW, Netherlands has started confidently. They are at 21/0 after 5 overs, with Max O'Dowd hitting the seamers for a few boundaries.

The Netherlands team has already lost two wickets. The two openers returned to the dressing room. Netherlands managed to collect only 27 runs in 8 overs. At an average of 3.5 runs per over they could not collect. And after losing two experienced batsmen so quickly, the Dutch batsmen are now under pressure.

We saw very good bowling from the South African bowlers against Australia. The target of 312 runs was given by the South African team. On the other hand, Australian batsmen managed to collect only 177 runs. I don't think Netherlands batsmen will collect big against South Africa today. It is very difficult for Netherlands to collect 200 runs.

The way Netherlands are batting, the team will probably be  able to provide a target of 120-140. I knew the Netherlands were a weak team. But  even then I thought I would see some more responsible batting from them.  But as usual they continued to perform poorly. The first 4 batsmen of the top order have returned to the dressing room. The team lost their fourth batsman  for 50 runs. Sybrand and  Nidamanuru are batting now. I don't expect these two batsmen  to play very well. I think the team will lose all the wickets before 150. And if the target is below 150 then there is a strong possibility that South Africa will reach the target within 20 overs of today's match.

[Out of mind]

Netherlands vs South Africa in Today's match, South Africa won the toss and opted to bowl and Netherlands batted. The match was stopped at times due to rain, but the DL system reduced the match to 43 overs. In the first innings, Netherlands batted very poorly, and none of the batsmen were able to form a big partnership. The lack of partnership has reduced the run-rate and the fall of wickets has resulted in the Netherlands being at their most desperate today. But South Africa is putting up a good bowling line-up in the match, the match is going to be interesting especially the bowling of South Africa is really interesting. Netherlands team has lost 5 wickets so far, and scored 102 runs in 24 overs, looking at today's performance, it seems doubtful that Netherlands can reach 200 runs.

Netherlands are now 105 for the loss of 5 wickets. The game was brought to 43 overs due to rain, but the Netherlands were relatively unable to score match-winning runs. Yes your aim is already near me netherlands max score 150-170. Moreover, it seems that the Netherlands will not be able to score more runs today. The Netherlands have already played two matches and lost both. Based on the performance of Netherlands in today's match, it can be said that they will lose to South Africa. Because South Africa can never be defeated with the amount of runs Netherlands are collecting at the moment. To beat South Africa in today's match Netherlands will have to give a big run target which is never possible for Netherlands.

This match has been started now few hours later due to disturbance of rain. First South Africa won toss and get the benefit of rain they call to Netherlands team first come in pitch start their batting inning. I do not think that Netherlands team comeback in this match and future matches from other teams because at right time, they made just 95 scores after batting 23 overs. Also they lost their main batter like Vikramjit Singh and Bas de Leede earlier. Vikramjit Singh got out by Kagiso Rbada bowler of South Africa team and he made only 2 scores for their team and other one also got out by same bowler after making 2 scores. If Netherlands team continues to perform like this, I do not think they will reach in Semi final or Final match.

[3kpk3]

Looks like South Africa is all set to decimate Netherlands as expected. None of the Dutch batsmen played particularly well thanks to some great bowling by Rabada, Jansen and the rest too.

My guess is that they might end up scoring something close to 180 which South Africa will chase down in 25 overs easily.

South Africa performed quite well this season managing to get several wins in previous matches plus SA has Rabada Jansen who always play well and have helped SA to win.
Even though the Netherlands is a quite strong team when faced with SA they seemed to have difficulty creating more runs to beat SA.

In this match SA has the upper hand and many fans make SA the favorite which might make profit if they bet on it.

The Netherlands team played very well. They did very well in scoring against the big team in South Africa. I think that the Netherlands has a fighting total with South Africa. Also remember that in the previous World Cup, the Netherlands also didn’t play well in the whole World Cup but against South Africa, they played very well. I hope that the result of this match will be the same as it was in the previous World Cup.

The Netherlands scored 245 runs and now if the Netherlands wants to win this match so they should do hard work in fielding and good bowling.

The Netherlands try their best and I hope the result will be good for the Netherlands.

[Fuso.hp]

Finally, the innings of Netherlands stopped at 245 runs. Do you think Netherlands scored 245 runs in 50 overs not at all Netherlands scored 245 runs in just 43 overs. 

The match between Netherlands vs South Africa was stopped for some time due to rain due to which the 50 overs match was decided to 43 overs due to the scheduled time of play. The Dutch batting really surprised me a lot towards the end.  The way the Netherlands finished it never felt like it was the Netherlands' first World Cup. 

Netherlands' run rate was close to 4 till 25 overs and then they lost five wickets from where they ended the innings with a run rate of around 6. Looking at the late game of the Netherlands, it seemed that the Netherlands would be the second team to cause an accident like Afghanistan in this World Cup. 

The batsmen have batted well and the Dutch bowlers will be able to put up a good fight with this run. Power Play Netherlands bowlers need to pick up just three wickets and then the steering of the match will be in the hands of Netherlands.

Outstanding fightback by the Dutch team! Their determination is impressive.
In the first 34 overs, they were at 141/7, but in the last 9 overs, they managed to score 104/1.
It's a significant recovery, while poor bowling by Proteas. Netherlands have posted a substantial score against South Africa. Now, South Africa needs 245 runs from 43 overs. Proteas' bowlers struggled in the death overs, at the same time giving away too many extras. If Netherlands bowler can grab 2 or 3 early wickets, we might witness another upset tonight!

South Africa  vs  Netherlands
---Snip----

What a remarkable comeback from the Netherlands batters and credit goes to skipper Scott Edwards for his brilliant inningof 78 runs. Netherlands batting performance was amazing scored 245 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 43 Overs Match. An Impressive stuff from Netherlands Netherlands' in first 34 overs score 141 runs in loss of 7 wickets and Their last nine overs score 104 runs in loss only 1 wickets. Scott Edwards shines for Netherlands amazing inning of 78 runs unbeaten in just 69 balls.

South Africa bowlers Marco Jansen bowling performance outstanding picked up 2 Crusial wickets by giving 28 runs inn8 Overs, Lungi Ngidi also two wickets in the first innings. An expensive last over 16 runs disturbs Kagiso Rabada figures 2 wickets by giving 56 runs in 9 Overs. He bowled brilliantly against Netherlands in the first 8 overs. Outstanding fifty from Scott Edwards has helped Netherlands to post a respectable total 246 runs on board. Netherlands An incredible fightback. South Africa are in top form but you never know if Netherlands gets early wickets then they have very good chances to win this match.

[_Hiloveua_]

Netherlands is doing really well. From the current situation of the game, it can be said that South Africa is performing very badly. South Africa's first five batting very well. But already South Africa lost 4 wickets with 44 runs in 11 overs. This is indeed good news for the Netherlands. Netherlands can really win this match. According to the predictor, the Netherlands is 66% and South Africa is 34%. In the face of this situation, South Africa has to play without losing a wicket. Although now it is understood that mistrust like England vs Afghanistan can win. Good luck to the Netherlands today.

Today, South Africa will not beat the Netherlands but the Netherlands will beat South Africa. From the beginning of the match I predicted that South Africa will beat Netherlands unexpectedly today. But South Africa's batting looks like South Africa is losing unimaginably to Netherlands today. Currently, South Africa has managed to score 44 runs by losing 3 wickets to meet the target of 245 runs given by the Netherlands. At this moment, if the Netherlands can make a quick fall of a few more wickets, surely the Netherlands can beat South Africa and win today's match. If Netherlands win today's match then this match will be an unimaginable victory for Netherlands. Netherlands are in very good condition at the moment, hope they win today's match.

[Bitcoin_people]

In the first innings of today's match, Netherlands batted and collected 245 runs while South Africa did not give much of a target of runs. But when South Africa came out to bat in the second innings, the way they started batting was truly ridiculous. No one imagined that South Africa would play so poorly with a normal team like the Netherlands sitting at the 10th position in the points table. South Africa where they beat a team like England by a huge margin and against a team like Sri Lanka put up a huge score of 428 runs to win by a huge margin, which is the highest score in ICC 2023. Such a strong team is unable to cope with a normal team like Netherlands today, losing wicket after wicket and batting performance has not improved yet. If South Africa continue to play like this, we can say for sure that they will lose against the Netherlands. There are still many overs to go if the batsmen can make a good partnership then the match is winnable, and if wickets fall they can definitely lose. South Africans still need to collect 184 runs from 170 balls to win against Netherlands, if they play the game it is possible. And in today's match, the South African team is in the worst form where they batted in frustration. And could it be that South Africa took the Netherlands too lightly today which is why they are in this situation today.

This is a golden chance for the Dutch to get an upset win in the world cup against one of the strongest teams. But they need to stay focused. One problem that I have observed with smaller teams like Netherlands is that they lose matches from a winning situation, as not many players have international experience. My suggestion would be to continue with the spinners at this point (Roelof van der Merwe, Aryan Dutt and Colin Ackermann), and try to get 1-2 more wickets. And out of these three spinners, Roelof has been most effective so far.

The South African team didn’t play well. They lost their main players wickets. The openers went to bat and they should have played with responsibility.
Quinton de Kock is the best opener of their team but he lost his wicket making 20 runs and Rassie van der Dussen  can do something, he can take the place of Quinton de Kock , but not to be.

Before that the Netherlands batted  very well, I think if rain did not come and the overs were 50 , maybe the Netherlands could have crossed the 300 scores. There is only one player who did a half-century, whose name is Scott Edwards. He is a very good batsman. He did 78 scores in just 69 balls. The bowlers are also very good, they took 4 wickets of the South Africa team.

South Africa  vs  Netherlands

Another easy win awaits South Africa tomorrow. South Africa will play against the Netherlands. It will not be wrong to say that the Netherlands is the weakest team in this World Cup.

Spectacular performance from Netherlands because like me all other members expect that they will lose his all wickets before 200 but unfortunately they really shocked us and remind us thier pervious best world Cup performance against South Africa which cause South Africa elimination at quarter finals. Anyway I was dam sure that this will be the brutal defeat at a stage when they lose 6 wickets by just scoring 112 but later thier lower and tail under player really smashed thier strong opponent and boost thier score board. Especially when dutt hit 3 sixes  with a strike rate of 255.5 now let see how they chased the required target in given overs

What a remarkable comeback from the Netherlands batters and credit goes to skipper Scott Edwards for his brilliant inningof 78 runs. Netherlands batting performance was amazing scored 245 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 43 Overs Match. An Impressive stuff from Netherlands Netherlands' in first 34 overs score 141 runs in loss of 7 wickets and Their last nine overs score 104 runs in loss only 1 wickets. Scott Edwards shines for Netherlands amazing inning of 78 runs unbeaten in just 69 balls.

Today I think the Netherlands team has left most people speechless. I know that most of the people today thought that the game will actually be one sided today because South Africa is much stronger than the Netherlands team. We have seen that many good teams could not make such runs in the past matches. Talking about Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Australia will also be on the line here. But proving this idea completely wrong, the Netherlands team let everyone know today that they are not as weak a team as we think. Not to mention Scott Edwards, he certainly deserves the credit as it was only because of him that the Netherlands team touched this run.
If we talk about bowling, then I will say that Netherlands are under pressure at present, South Africa is over 18 overs already, four wickets of South Africa have fallen and runs are only 83. For me today the result of the match is still unpredictable. The way the Netherlands are putting South Africa under pressure if this continues I think Netherlands can make history in today's match by winning the match.
