Roelof van der Merwe leads Netherlands charge as they upset South Africa at another World Cup

Dharamsala: All-rounder Roelof van der Merwe had stressed ahead of the game that facing his former national side South Africa ‘dragged the same weight for him’ as playing any other team at the World Cup. But on Tuesday, that barely looked the case as soon as he was done bowling his first delivery. A wide-arm slider angled in from round the wicket left Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma’s middle and leg stumps toppled. Van der Merwe’s joyous scream could be heard reverberating around the HPCA Stadium. Most of the 10,000-plus crowd in the stands seemed to be behind the Men in Orange, perhaps with some foresight of what was to follow. A night that saw the Dutch upsetting the Proteas at a Cricket World Cup for the second time in less than a year with a 38-run margin. The Netherlands, who were red...

In the rain-shortened 43-overs-a-side affair at the HPCA stadium on Tuesday, the in-form Proteas had to chase 246, way more than they should have after having the Dutchmen at 50 for four. But in a train wreck of a pursuit, Temba Bavuma & Co. wilted to lose its second straight match to the Netherlands at an ICC event after the stunning reverse in the 2022 T20 World Cup.Quinton de Kock gloved one behind off Colin Ackermann; Bavuma was bowled after failing to read an arm-ball from Roelof van der Merwe (a former South Africa international); Aiden Markram’s stumps were rearranged by Paul van Meekeren.
