🏏 Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #15: South Africa vs Netherlands 🏏 - Page 50

26.4 van Meekeren to Coetzee, SIX runs

Clears the fence! Banged in short outside off. Coetzee dangles his bat, almost as an afterthought, and the ball flies off the bat, comfortably over third man!

What does that even mean lol. Cricket is always a team game. Good players in bad teams lose and bad players in good team wins. Sometimes cricket goes bonkers and none of this matters lol.

Which is what happens to RSA in most ICC tournaments

27.1 de Leede to Coetzee, FOUR runs

Four more! Hard length just outside off. Coetzee nibbles at it and gets a thick outside edge that races away past the keeper

Another upset loading ?

Atleast gimme the 50+ margin, SA

BFW de Leede3-0-11-0

PA van Meekeren7-0-33-2

No one predicted Edwards for HR, H 4rs !!

Drinks. SA needed this. The Dutch needed this to regroup a little. Last two overs have gone in favour of the SA unit. 117 off 90 balls. SA aren't favorites here. But till the time Miller is there, you have to believe they can achieve this. Will Bas de Leede have a chance for redemption? Will Gerald Coetzee be the dark horse?

Rajarshi: Cross seam deliveries have been so effective in this world cup, certainly more than seam up deliveries as there is more variation in bounce on the pitches than sideways movement. I remember Zaheer khan revealed his knuckle ball in world cup 2011, Cross seam deliveries have been revelation!
