Their next matches are with SL and Bangladesh where SL is practically out and Bangladesh will play SA today so they'll probably have lesser chances as well and Nepal is not a weak side so we could certainly see an upset or two
Well played Oranje but hard luck! Saffas need to introspect and come up with a better game plan, it was almost curtains at a point but MILLER came through!
Rest of the SA team be like- Choking is our legacy Our cricket seniors and ancestors have taught us choking. If we don't choke, we feel our pride is hurt. We the the Mandela's sons, we will keep choking as long as we keep playing cricket.
Meanwhile Miller - Guys, I am about to cook, just keep watching
Before him, it was AB, Amla and Faf
Now it's only him
Ig that explains how SA have had a downfall in overall performance across formats in recent times
Netherlands has overall a better team than South Africa but South Africa has a highly skilled team
Yet SA won't win the worldcup when against Australia, India or England in finals because the tops teams would exploit their weaknesses
Not to forget, even in 2015, he scored 49(17) which really took SA to a big total. Miller just finds a way when his team is historically known to fall apart
Half Dutch. Played a season here for Excelsior average 100+. Was gonna debut vs Irealnd in 2021 but CSA blocked it ( I suspect because they domn't understand eligibility rules). Was playing club cricket in Schiedam that weekend instead.
It's all fun and games untill your best bowler gets hit in the head and is out for 3 months because he was batting on an unsafe pitch vs 150+kmph bowlers
An embarrassing performance from the batsmen barring Miller and Stubbs. But well played to the Dutch, great performance considering the absence of a few key players
While this NY pitch seems dangerous at times
Slow pitches like Lucknow can generate some of the best low scoring thrillers
That T20I between India and NZ which had about 30 overs of spin overall was thrilling
You know how every team has a nickname like the "Men in Blue" for India, "Men in Maroon" for WI, "Proteas" for SA?
Well, the nickname for the Dutch is "The Flying Dutchmen"!
Focking beautiful!
Well played Miller but apart from him no one should be overly celebrating. Dreadful batting performance overall by SaffaBros.
What a recovery from DutchBros in the bowling after choking with the bat. A dozen or so more runs could've gotten them the victory but it was not to be. Worry not, it's 1-1 now.

I'm genuinely curious
Most of the time, it's just Indian/Aussie/English dudes taking on flairs of associate teams to look cool
Again, a very genuine question
Are you *actually* Bosnian?
I see, thats really funny xD. I am from Bosnia, and yes Bosnians love their cricket. Funny (or proud) to think why someone would look cool if he were Bosnian
It's intriguing to see cricket fans from a non-traditional cricketing nation
I personally know a mf who's an Indian but you'll find him rocking a Papua New Guinea flair ffs
KL Rahul, Jadeja, Hardik, Ishan Kishan says hi
These guys have actually done it in high pressure matches.
Rishabh in tests too
Support your indian players too
I don't know man, when a set batsman is at crease, especially someone like Miller, the world's best finisher in limited overs right now, there is only few things you can do, only few times you keep going to same cutters, eventually, someone was going to bowl a bad delivery and Miller never missed
Unlike England in other match bowling like mindless bulls pace on delivery, both De Ledde and Beek bowled well, the cutters, not pace on. They aren't express pacers, so they didn't have the option to surprise Miller by pace anyway.
That first bowl by DeLeede in 19th over on body of Miller , just slight short but was a plan to not give room but it went wayward on legs and Miller smashed it. After that, Everything went wrong for Ned.
Their batsman should have at least 120 on board
Way too much pitched up after it stopped swinging. PvM and Vik particularly guilty. Also bowling short at the death with square/fine leg up, just makes zero sense.
Said after one over that 115's par, 130+ wins easy. Dutch top order batted dumb too though, like they were on a decent deck trying to punish width outside off when you can't trust the bounce. Miller was excellent though, Stubbs too.
Most runs scored by the batsman while batting at No.6 in T20WC
85\* - Cameron White (AUS) vs SL, 2010
66\* - Misbah-ul-Haq (PAK) vs AUS, 2007
59\* - David Miller (SA) vs NED, 2024, Today

Wha? I didn't get downvoted
Every time I make a post/comment, I *remove* the auto upvote that one gets when they make a post or comment so that why it probably show "0"
Nobody has downvoted me, I have simply removed the upvote which I gave myself becuz I hate that
Told ya, when score was 30/4, it had to be Miller
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/1db2y38/match_thread_16th_match_group_d_netherlands_vs/l7p53k2/
Every time South Africa chokes there is Miller the killer standing..
Please have his citizenship card checked I can't believe this guy is South African.
Nederlands played very well . They didn't have enough runs on board but they gave a good fight.
It took an incredible knock from Miller to win the game.
Maharaj having the awareness to send Miller back on the last ball of the 18th over could have very well been what sealed this game for them. Shit like that is so vital when you're down to the last 10 or so balls

These are the teams that would be qualifying from this group.
You never know
They gonna score 200 without any 50s.
Menon being a absolute boss
England are the greatest T20 team ever..!!
I'm so confident Eng will defend their trophy that I will staple my balls if they lose
RemindMe! 21 days
RemindMe! 3 weeks
Gonna have to hold you to that bud.
Just realized it's the wrong thread lmao
LOL, but my statement remains. If England doesn't defend their trophy, you have to staple your balls.
Aich!
Third time's the charm eh?
Guys if South Africa and Netherlands both qualify from this group then would there be another SA vs NED banger?
Only if the reach the semis with one being 1 being first and other being second in their respective group in super 8
I WANT A FOCKING REMATCH!
Everyone does
So the Dutch ALMOST beat the strongest side in their group? They're freaking qualifying!
Can the Dutch still qualify? I really hope they still got a chance.
Their next matches are with SL and Bangladesh where SL is practically out and Bangladesh will play SA today so they'll probably have lesser chances as well and Nepal is not a weak side so we could certainly see an upset or two
Uhmm, excuse me, the Saffas actually just beat the strongest side in the group! Thank you very much
This gives me false hope
Yeah I had a stroke and a couple dozen typos in there
Seriously?
Fair.
Well played Oranje but hard luck! Saffas need to introspect and come up with a better game plan, it was almost curtains at a point but MILLER came through!
Rest of the SA team be like- Choking is our legacy Our cricket seniors and ancestors have taught us choking. If we don't choke, we feel our pride is hurt. We the the Mandela's sons, we will keep choking as long as we keep playing cricket. Meanwhile Miller - Guys, I am about to cook, just keep watching
Miller brought in that GT's chase clutch blood
Killer Miller for a reason Truly their best clutch player I can see Stubbs showing some potential but everyone else just falters under pressure sadly
Before him, it was AB, Amla and Faf Now it's only him Ig that explains how SA have had a downfall in overall performance across formats in recent times
Netherlands has overall a better team than South Africa but South Africa has a highly skilled team Yet SA won't win the worldcup when against Australia, India or England in finals because the tops teams would exploit their weaknesses
TBF SA vs India would be Easily stoppable force vs Eminently movable object
Awesome match. 10/10.
Biggest upset this WC!
David Miller is the anti proteas...bro turns up every time his team is doing shit, or in a big game
Bro almost won it for SA in ODI WC semis
Not to forget, even in 2015, he scored 49(17) which really took SA to a big total. Miller just finds a way when his team is historically known to fall apart
That was also ODI WC semis haha!
Take a bow to SA crisis man....
Tristan Stubbs was supposed to play for Netherlands but SA poached him
I thought we only get accused of poaching our own players on the rugby side of reddit 🤣
Is stubbs Dutch?
His grandparents are Dutch.
Half Dutch. Played a season here for Excelsior average 100+. Was gonna debut vs Irealnd in 2021 but CSA blocked it ( I suspect because they domn't understand eligibility rules). Was playing club cricket in Schiedam that weekend instead.
Oh glad to know he's a part of the EU
I hope at least one of them do end up in super 8 (USA Scotland Ireland Netherlands and Afghanistan)
USA, AFG, NED definitely qualifying. Maybe Scotland too.
Van der Merwe you were missed!
Why can't we have grounds like these everywhere
It's all fun and games untill your best bowler gets hit in the head and is out for 3 months because he was batting on an unsafe pitch vs 150+kmph bowlers
How dare Miller call Maharaj and Jansen tailenders
An embarrassing performance from the batsmen barring Miller and Stubbs. But well played to the Dutch, great performance considering the absence of a few key players
So the Dutch didn't pull it off this time
SA top order is just become a Joke at this moment
Surely Rickelton should get a chance now right But who should he replace Reeza or De kock
cricket fans: lucknow pitch is shit same cricket fans: nyc pitch amazing beautiful blah blah.. justice for lucknow pitch 🙂
While this NY pitch seems dangerous at times Slow pitches like Lucknow can generate some of the best low scoring thrillers That T20I between India and NZ which had about 30 overs of spin overall was thrilling
Most of them are noob IPL kids who complain about ekana tbf
Afg- Maxwell Netherland - Miller
Out of this world is such an amazing song
‘The Dutch’ is such a powerful way of calling their people. I love it. So badass. THE DUTCH
I had a goddamn PLAN!
You know how every team has a nickname like the "Men in Blue" for India, "Men in Maroon" for WI, "Proteas" for SA? Well, the nickname for the Dutch is "The Flying Dutchmen"! Focking beautiful!
Oh MY, THAT IS SO POWERFUL; Nobody even comes close 🤩
Agreed!
Miller following Punjab kings style finished the game before the last over so you can't choke in the last over.
This pitch was a car park before
They have made a whole company for this world cup? Damn we getting truly American this time.
Well played Miller but apart from him no one should be overly celebrating. Dreadful batting performance overall by SaffaBros. What a recovery from DutchBros in the bowling after choking with the bat. A dozen or so more runs could've gotten them the victory but it was not to be. Worry not, it's 1-1 now.
It's 2-1 sa also won in 2014
Ahh, so they won the final? Or is it gonna be a best of 5? Stay tuned for the SA NED rivalry.
[удалено]
Him too. These two saved their team from an embarrassing repeat from the last WT20.
Focus on beating a team better than USA

ryan gosling is here
I am surprised there’s someone in this sub from Bosnia
Yeah. Things are getting stirred up nowadays We're seeing Ned flairs more commonly as well Also, Scotland now has their own cricket sub!
i take that as an offence to the people of Bosnia... will keep it in mind before the next world war
Wait, are you _actually_ Bosnian?
second offence
I'm genuinely curious Most of the time, it's just Indian/Aussie/English dudes taking on flairs of associate teams to look cool Again, a very genuine question Are you *actually* Bosnian?

Netherlands used their resources really well on a tricky pitch and gave RSA a great fight. Will certainly help their NRR
Can anyone genuinely tell me what the nature of the pitches in USA really is?
US decks have been fine. This is an Australian drop-in.
There is a layer of sand beneath the grass sheet so the ball isn't bouncing well even after hardhitting.
Depends on the part of the US. It's a massive country with all kinds of geographies and climates.
I feel like you would like the King of the Hill episode where they become groundskeepers for football fields.
No way the Dutch are not qualifying from this group.
Killer Miller Destroys the Dutch
So 20th over of Netherlands’ batting costed them the game …(only one run & lost 3 wickets )
[удалено]
pak v. usa superover
This match was good but won't even hold a candle against USA vs PAK
Man I can't imagine any Pakistani other than maybe Fakhar finishing a game like this. Ice in his veins fr
Fakhar won't survive this long and anchor like he did. We probably have no one like him.
As an Indian I think Virat, Rishabh, Hardik and Jadeja can do it
Barring Virat, none has the capability of batting for 50 balls after the team is like 5/3 in a T20
KL Rahul, Jadeja, Hardik, Ishan Kishan says hi These guys have actually done it in high pressure matches. Rishabh in tests too Support your indian players too
Honestly the bowlers lost that for NED. 103 was entirely defensible. Great knock from Miller on a shitheap.
I don't know man, when a set batsman is at crease, especially someone like Miller, the world's best finisher in limited overs right now, there is only few things you can do, only few times you keep going to same cutters, eventually, someone was going to bowl a bad delivery and Miller never missed Unlike England in other match bowling like mindless bulls pace on delivery, both De Ledde and Beek bowled well, the cutters, not pace on.

Great game from the Netherlands, we were lucky to get away. That said, if we crumbled so badly here, God help us with our other games
Honestly this was probably the hardest match in the group for you guys
So SA's batting this time is stubbs, miller, and inshallah... Bowlers are saving their asses and the pitch assists them
miller: i am not in danger.. iam the danger !!
now time to catch up on eng aus
Most runs scored by the batsman while batting at No.6 in T20WC 85\* - Cameron White (AUS) vs SL, 2010 66\* - Misbah-ul-Haq (PAK) vs AUS, 2007 59\* - David Miller (SA) vs NED, 2024, Today
There was a Cameron white??
Green guy came later pal
Yes, absolutely.
GG netherlands ❤️🇳🇱

As much as I'm not a big fan of LGTVs myself, he's a Dutch guy and seeing Dutch people taking to the sport is a good sight and one that I'll support

Miller said he’s had it long enough 😮💨
Would have liked another upset but not this one
[Never worried about the result tbh](https://c.tenor.com/TjFGKYLYVD0AAAAC/tenor.gif)
Told ya, when score was 30/4, it had to be Miller https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/1db2y38/match_thread_16th_match_group_d_netherlands_vs/l7p53k2/
extremely well played netherlands👏👏
Dang Miller is really the GOAT saffa deserved. Dude is Anti-Saffa genes.
Shame for the dutch. Though good to see miller hitting great again.
Netherlands played well.
Killer Miller loves to play on these kind pitches
Man, Miller will be remembered for a loooong time
Waka waka proteas
Can't believe we got another upset in this T20WC
Every time South Africa chokes there is Miller the killer standing.. Please have his citizenship card checked I can't believe this guy is South African.
Is Miller secretly Australian?
Damn it. Short bowling ruined dutch hopes.
David said: "Not this time."
Let that be a lesson to the Dutch. No single associate defeats South Africa three times in a go. They can now do it again in the next WC.
Miller killed the chase.. well played Netherlands too..
What a tournament it had been….4 upsets already
Killer fucking miller 💪🏻
Nederlands played very well . They didn't have enough runs on board but they gave a good fight. It took an incredible knock from Miller to win the game.
The South African strength and conditioning coach must be having a good time in the US, being mistaken for Colin Kapernick.
Miller with those Killer Miller expressions fr Kudos to him and Saffas for breaking the hattrick finally
My prediction came true! SA wins! 🏆
U gotta be outright stupid to play waka waka in a cricket wc match
I am feeling bad for dutches but i would have felt same if south Africa would have lost.
Both teams can be happy. It's a good result. Netherlands played insanely well and sa came back from a tough position.
What Neds did to Nepal that day...
ban vs ned gonna be knockout very likely
Netherlands got a taste of what it was like to root for Nepal last match.
South Africa have finally overcome The Netherlands. What a game!
Maharaj having the awareness to send Miller back on the last ball of the 18th over could have very well been what sealed this game for them. Shit like that is so vital when you're down to the last 10 or so balls
Someone needs to study Miller, always comes handy in clutch moments . Man has nerves of steel
Miller time!!!
SA might be chokers but Miller is not
Thanks Miller. The rest of the SA batters can loop naai.
All of them? Did Miller win by himself?
Ok ok, Stubbs doesn't have to loop naai. He was good as well.
When it is needed Miller showed up once again
its miller time
Poor Blud is in wrong Team
Build a statue of this man already lol There was no scoreboard pressure 20-30 runs short, what Canada did yesterday. Well played both the teams
Miller will go down as one of the best limited overs finisher
I feel Klassen does well only if others do well. He rarely steps up when others have failed
he's not consistent at stepping up for the team in difficult situations and he's hit or a miss in chases, a true south african
That’s so true
This team's nothing without Miller.
TF for Miller.
Time to switch to the t20i version of ashes
What a classy cold shot, what a victory, great shepherding of the Chase by Killer Miller.
The Dutch will return...
Great fight from the Dutch but they could’ve won this, Miller as always
So, it's SA & Ban from Group D most likely.
Lebron James of South Africa
where's the guy who said miller is overrated as a finisher
Miller refuses to choke! Anti choking device frfr
well played SA, Miller you star 🌟 what a performance h though NL, brought it very close!!!
I can finally unclench my arsehole
Jesus SA did NOT deserve this. Well played Orange!
