- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.2 flashed to the only slip! De Kock's struggle ends, as he finds the first-slip fielder placed slightly wider than usual. It was a good length, pitching on middle and off, and angling across while bouncing nicely for the bowler's liking. De Kock hacked, but got it from the bottom half of the bat 32/23.4 finds square leg! Three legal balls in a row went in that region, and this one landed right into the fielder's hands. He just had to go low to his left to pouch that. Kingma persisted with the good length, as the bounce off the surface and the movement back into middle and leg meant Bavuma pushed at it and found the fielder. Netherlands strike early 16/118.4 gifts his wicket to short fine leg! Wretched half-tracker outside leg stump past the hips. If he left it, it was a wide. Rassie tries to smash it for four but is a bit too loose with his effort and cranks this at a catchable height toward van Meekeren in the ring at 45. He dives to his left and snatches this at shin height. Very alert take. 94/345.2 gone, Markram falls short of a double! But what an extraordinary innings: everything went his way, and he did as he willed. He bished and bashed his way to 175, and falls while looking for another six. Sits deep in the crease, and lofts this length ball around middle and off. That was hit very hard and flat, and was good anticipation by the long-on fielder, who moved to his right to take it high 344/525.5 good length ball on leg, Klaasen was getting a touch frustrated and tries to pull a ball that wasn't short enough for the shot. Winds up top-edging this swirling over gully. Third man on the ring was never going to cover the ground in time so Edwards charges out quickly from behind the stumps and dives to latch onto this with an athletic effort. 145/446.1 Miller departs too! Miller misses a hundred in trying to selflessly going for the big hits. Good length ball a bit wide of off, as Miller goes deep in the crease, and slightly across too. He swings across the line, but gets a top edge, as the ball sails high into the sky for the bowler to grab an easy catch. Netherlands somehow managing to stop South Africa here 347/647.3 flung to extra cover! That was hit hard and flat to the fielder, right on the edge of the fielder. It was a pretty full ball angling across to just outside off, as he got his front leg out of the way and went slashing at it 356/748.6 fires a yorker on middle at 137kph! Nortje makes room, and even charges down, as van Meekeren bowls full and straight. Nortje tried to slash, but the ball went underneath his bat to hit the middle stump 365/8Extras15 (lb 3, nb 5, w 7)TOTAL370/8 (50 Overs, RR: 7.4)Did not bat: T ShamsiFall of wickets: 1-16 (Temba Bavuma, 3.4 ov), 2-32 (Quinton de Kock, 7.2 ov), 3-94 (Rassie van der Dussen, 18.4 ov), 4-145 (Heinrich Klaasen, 25.5 ov), 5-344 (Aiden Markram, 45.2 ov), 6-347 (David Miller, 46.1 ov), 7-356 (Sisanda Magala, 47.3 ov), 8-365 (Anrich Nortje, 48.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.4 bullseye! Length ball on middle stump, skids a fraction low to beat Vikramjit defending down the wrong line jamming the bat down in front of his pads in front of leg stump with no footwork. 23/118.1 chop on! Good length ball on fifth stump, O'Dowd tries to open the face running this to deep third but miscues it pushing too far way from his body and an inside edge ricochets back onto the top of off stump to send it cartwheeling out of the ground. 108/225.5 great catch by the point fielder! Klaasen the man there. Markram breaks a solid stand after hammering 175 earlier in the day. But the umpires will verify the catch first, so we need to hold on our excitement. It is a fair delivery, as the process begins. The fielder at point dived low to his right in trying to grab that. Multiple replays through multiple angles are being looked at, as is the case with these typically low chances. Klaasen's hands are touching the ground as he looks to catch, but the back angle of the replay not providing any real clue. After much deliberation, there is a change of angle; this one goes from front. Ah, given out after a lot of replays. Anyway, here we go to what happened before the catch: the ball was a bit loopy outside off, and full in length, as Musa opened the bat face to slice that towards the fielder 151/332.6 finds deep backward square leg! That was actually hit well, and perhaps a bit too nicely. Shorter boundary there too, but VDD keeps his eyes on the ball even as the sun sets in his eyes. Shorter side of a length on middle from Magala, and Barresi just swung his bat to time that well, but alas 193/526.5 finds fine leg! It is another low catch... and this time the umpires
look satisfiedgo upstairs again. The soft signal is out. Jansen's hands dropped on to the ground as the ball fell into them, and that is what the third umpire was checking. Ngidi banged it in short, and got it to rise on middle and leg. Cooper looked to pull, and ended up playing too fine, before Jansen did well to take that low 154/435.6 the reverse sweep goes awry this time! Flighted full on middle, Edwards is through the shot too early with more air given by Markram this time. He's nailed on the thigh flexing while kneeling. No bat for sure. This is stone dead. LBW shout upheld immediately. Edwards reviews very quickly, more on the basis that he knows how valuable his wicket is in this chase. But it was pitching in line and the rest of the three reds light up as follows taking out middle stump. Netherlands lose a review. 217/636.3 bullseye! Length ball angled in toward off stump from around the wicket. Shariz is flat-footed stabbing at this trying to run this fine to deep third for one but plays too far inside the line and off stump is rattled 3/4 of the way up. 217/736.6 bullseye! Double-wicket maiden for Magala! Length ball angled in from off stump skids on toward the top of leg stump. van Meekeren clears the front leg heaving for midwicket but misses badly playing over the top of the ball with a pull and leg stump is nailed just below the bails to sent it cartwheeling backwards. 217/838.3 bullseye! The crowd goes out of their minds roaring as Magala has a maiden ODI five-for! Good length ball skids a touch low with a radar locked in on middle and off stump. Klaassen's lack of footwork is exposed waving his bat around this. Middle and off stump are split halfway up. 223/939.1 bullseye! South Africa's automatic 2023 World Cup qualification hopes are alive and well! Flighted full on fourth stump, Kingma heaves across the line with an ungainly sweep and misses. Off stump is knocked back to seal a 146-run win. 224/10Extras15 (lb 5, w 10)TOTAL224 all out (39.1 Overs, RR: 5.71)Fall of wickets: 1-23 (Vikramjit Singh, 3.4 ov), 2-108 (Max O'Dowd, 18.1 ov), 3-151 (Musa Ahmad, 25.5 ov), 4-154 (Tom Cooper, 26.5 ov), 5-193 (Wesley Barresi, 32.6 ov), 6-217 (Scott Edwards, 35.6 ov), 7-217 (Shariz Ahmad, 36.3 ov), 8-217 (Paul van Meekeren, 36.6 ov), 9-223 (Fred Klaassen, 38.3 ov), 10-224 (Vivian Kingma, 39.1 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB L Ngidi 8 0 33 1 4.12 34 5 0 0 0 M Jansen 7 1 39 1 5.57 27 7 0 2 0 A Nortje 5 0 26 0 5.20 19 5 0 0 0 SSB Magala 9 2 43 5 4.77 34 6 0 4 0 T Shamsi 4.1 0 38 1 9.12 14 3 3 3 0 AK Markram 6 0 40 2 6.66 15 2 1 1 0
