da apostaganha： A Sunday morning shock – or surprise? – at the World Cup… who saw that coming?
da fezbet： ESPNcricinfo staff06-Nov-2022South Africa’s men have a history of stumbling at World Cups, but this was unexpected even by those yardsticks. Netherlands impressed at the start and at the finish to get to 158. Still, most people would have expected South Africa to get there. They were 68 for 3 after ten overs, but a stand between Aiden Markram and David Miller had kept them in the hunt. And then…
Ooooooooh…

Roelof van der Merwe pulled off a screamer to dismiss David Miller, a wicket that all but clinched the win for Netherlands.
Van De Merwe’s catch today was one of the best I’ve ever seen. I can’t put into words how difficult it was and he made it look easy. Phenomenal stuff and won the game for the Netherlands #T20WorldCup

Are we on for an epic rematch now?
The ICC and MCGs hope of a dream final.. India v Pakistan is still alive!!!! https://t.co/Gw1s3Qml9q
