It hardly looks like an accident this time. South Africa might be complacent in the last T-20 WC but that wasn't the case last night. They were talking about it "taking no chances" before the match.

At one point Dutch were 82/5, but still, they managed to set a respectable target and not to forget these guys also added 100 runs in the last 8 overs. I wish for more such results so that teams like Afghanistan and Netherlands become the kingmakers.

They were 82/5, then 112/6 and finally when Logan van Beek got out they were 140/7. And from this stage Scott Edwards, Roelof van der Merwe and Aryan Dutt got them to 245/8. Netherlands scored a total of 105 runs in the last 9 overs. The South African pacers (Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Gerald Coetzee) were leaking too many runs during the depth overs and the South African captain erred by not giving Marco Jansen the maximum number of overs available. And while batting South Africa could not capitalize on the good start they got.

I believe Temba Bavuma might be a problem of this great team. He seems to struggle with both captaincy and batting. In yesterday match against Netherlands on a good batting pitch, he made decisions to bowl first. However, their bowlers were not organized. However, Netherlands played better and more passionate cricket than South Africa, impressing everyone.
