Netherlands vs South Africa

South Africa won the toss and chose to bowl first in their key one-day international match against the Netherlands at Willowmoore Park in Benoni on Friday.

Anrich Nortje was his usual reliable self with 2/24 but the unluckiest bowler of the lot was Marco Jansen, who beat the bat time and again during the first powerplay without any luck as his swing and seam proved too good for the Netherlands’ batters. The innings ended with a turbo-charged injection of aggression from the pair after the home team had begun their task relatively conservatively, losing Quinton de Kock early and Rassie van der Dussen for 31. Bavuma struck eight fours and a six in his unbeaten 90 – his third ODI half-century to go with four hundreds – while Markram raced to 51 (7x4s, 1x6) in just 39 balls, his sixth half-century in the format.

South Africa desperate for Super League points with automatic World Cup qualification on the line.

Aryan Dutt hit Markram for a six over his head but then tried the same against a Shamsi wrong'un and found Rabada at deep midwicket to end an entertaining cameo. Two overs later, Aiden Markram replaced Jansen and had Shariz Ahmad stumped down the leg side to keep Netherlands on the ropes. At 81 for 3 in the 18th over, it was up to captain Scott Edwards and Musa Ahmed to steady things, but Edwards was sucked into a drive off Nortje and edged to Jansen at slip. Netherlands lost a third wicket three overs later when Wesley Barresi picked out Rabada on the fine-leg boundary as he tried to flick Nortje over. Magala was not spared either, as Vikramjit hit him for a four through the covers and past point as Netherlands ended the first ten overs on 54 without loss. On a pitch that offered something for both seamers and spinners, Netherlands started well and showed promising signs, but were unable to build on their starts thanks to sustained waves of attack from South Africa's bowlers, who were difficult to score off.
