Bas de Leede in T20I run-chases

In wins: 10 innings, 353 runs at 176.5 (eight not-outs), SR: 132.7[b]In defeats:

Eight of Netherlands' 11 T20 WC wins have come while chasing, the seven-wicket margin today being the highest among those.

This was the Netherlands' biggest win in T20 World Cup history. Namibia got off to a strong start by removing O'Dowd in the third over, but Levitt quickly countered with an aggressive 28 off 15 balls, including three sixes, before departing in the final over of the powerplay. With the score at 50/2, De Leede and Ackermann took over, steadying the chase through clever strike rotation and low-risk cricket. Ackermann was handed a life on 14 when Steenkamp dropped a catch in the 10th over, and he made the most of it, contributing to a vital 70-run stand before eventually holing out for 32. Bas de Leede was the undisputed hero of the chase. He anchored the innings brilliantly, finding the ropes and clearing the fence whenever needed to keep the required rate under control. Captain Scott Edwards provided a quick-fire 18 off just 9 deliveries to shift the momentum even further in their favor. De Leede finished unbeaten on a superb 72 from 48 balls to see his side home. It was a clinical performance from the Netherlands to secure their first points of the tournament. While the Dutch celebrate, Namibia will need to head back to the drawing board to address their mistakes if they want to keep their World Cup hopes alive.

How come this the biggest win?

I know they won a match against South Africa by 13 runs.

May be Winning a match by 7 wickets (with 2 overs to spare) is bigger than winning a match by 13 runs. If there is anything else, Cricinfo may have answers.

The message I quoted was from Cricinfo.

Cheers.
