  1. SA 182-9published at 39 overs

    64 runs needed from 24 balls

    Keshav Maharaj runs a single off the first ball of the next over, giving Netherlands five deliveries at No.11 Lungi Ngidi.

    Ngidi cops a painful one in the neck after ducking out of a short delivery. He is probably grateful to get off the mark with a single into the off side.

  2. SA 180-9published at 38 overs

    Keshav Maharaj drives the ball down the ground for four to move to 20 from 21 balls. He has batted well given the circumstances.

    South Africa need 66 from 30 balls.

    This was a very smart catch from Sybrand Engelbrecht to dismiss Kagiso Rabada and put the Netherlands on the brink.

  4. SA 174-9published at 37 overs

    72 runs needed from 36 balls

    Ooh, Netherlands fans were nearly celebrating as two uppish drives land just short of the fielder at mid-off.

    They surely do not have much longer to wait.

    I am very proud. This is a fantastic moment for Dutch cricket.

    It is the Netherlands' best achievement, by far.

  6. SA 169-9published at 36 overs

    The Netherlands fans are already celebrating in the stands. They are just waiting for the crowning moment.

    Much will be said about South Africa's poor performance, but the Netherlands have been outstanding.

    There wasn't.

    As you were.

  8. Netherlands reviewpublished at 35.4 overs

    This feels speculative. But when you are on the brink of victory, why not?

    It is a play and miss by number 11 Lungi Ngidi, but Scott Edwards sends it upstairs to check whether there was a nick off the edge.

    That's the ninth wicket and the Dutch are well and truly on the brink of victory. Everything is turning gold for them now.

    Rabada c Engelbrecht b de Leede 9 (SA 166-9)

    Netherlands on the brink!

    Kagiso Rabada goes for a swipe outside off stump but can only slice the ball straight to Sybrand Engelbrecht at backward point.

  12. 6 runs

    SA 165-8published at 34.5 overs

    Crunch.

    A big swing of the arms from Kagiso Rabada and the ball flies back over Logan van Beek's head and away for six.

    You cannot have a bad day at the World Cup, because everybody is good. You've got to bring your A game.

    Here is that huge wicket of David Miller, clean bowled by a jubilant Logan van Beek.

    It has taken the Netherlands and Afghanistan to really bring this tournament to life. This game will no doubt make the front page of the Dutch newspapers.

  17. SA 155-8published at 34 overs

    91 needed from 54 balls

    Kagiso Rabada is the new batter.

    This not only looks to be a victory for the Netherlands, but a comfortable one at that.

    WICKETpublished at 33.1 overs

    Coetzee c Edwards b De Leede 22 (SA - 147-8)

    The Netherlands are edging closer to a famous win!

    Gerald Coetzee goes for a pull but can only top-edge the ball into the sky. Wicketkeeper Scott Edwards backtracks before watching the ball from the pitch black Dharamsala sky and safely into the gloves.

  19. SA 147-7published at 33 overs

    The squeeze continues. Just the single from Logan van Beek's latest over.

    South Africa need 99 from the final 10 overs.

    Van der Merwe has been outstanding and has changed the impetus of this whole match. The choke continues from the Netherlands and they seem to just keep taking wickets.
