The Proteas had the first innings in their favour as they limited the Scott Edwards-led side to a total of 103/9 after Ottneil Baartman took four wickets, with Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje taking two wickets each.

Aiming to chase down the target with relative ease, South Africa got off to a terrible start as openers Reeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock departed for three and zero runs, respectively. Skipper Markram also departed after a three-ball duck, along with Heinrich Klaasen, who added four runs on the board.

From there, Tristan Stubbs along with David Miller stitched a partnership of 65 runs. While Stubbs walked back after scoring 33 runs. But the star performer was Miller who scored an unbeaten 59 runs to take his side over the line. He smashed three boundaries and four sixes.

South Africa held their nerves and won the T20 World Cup 2024 game by four wickets with seven balls to spare. Vivian Kingma and Logan van Beek picked two wickets each for the Dutch side but failed to defend the total.
