TNI Bureau: The Netherlands caused one of the biggest upsets in T20 World Cup history by almost knocking South Africa out of the 2022 edition of the tournament.
Netherlands (158/4) beat South Africa (145/8) by 13 runs in a crucial Group 2 match of Super 12, dashing the hopes of the Proteas. The Netherlands have qualified for the T20 World Cup 2024 with this win.
India, with 6 points from 4 matches, have qualified for the semifinals after this upset. They will face Zimbabwe in an inconsequential match today although it will help them to consolidate their position in the points table with a win.
South Africa have 5 points from all 5 matches. The winner of the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, will decide the other semifinalist. However, if the match is washed out due to rains, the net run rate will come to fore.
