Netherlands have put up a strong batting performance but they know that they could have got 10-15 runs more. However, 158 is still a good total and their bowlers need to be at their best to defend this one against a star-studded South African batting line-up. Stephan Myburgh and Max O'Dowd started really well and scored at a brisk rate. After they got out, Tom Cooper took the responsibilty to control the middle overs and Colin Ackermann finishes things nicley with quick-fire 41 off just 26 balls.
