South Africa national cricket team (known as Proteas ) emerged victorious following an exciting last-over thriller against West Indies national cricket team (known as Windies).

Both teams boast an exciting history of encounters. Their rivalry has resulted in some of the most captivating matches ever seen – from T20Is to Test matches – where explosive batting and jaw-dropping bowling has come together in stunning displays of international cricket action.

South Africa have come out on top thanks to their reigning duo AB de Villiers and Kagiso Rabada while Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran have helped ensure Windies come out strong against South Africa.

The initial match between South Africa and Windies occurred in 1922-23 and proved highly competitive. Both teams were relatively low on global rankings at this time; with South Africa slightly outscoring Windies by several points. Still, both sides proved evenly matched and produced some memorable moments during that battle.

In the opening innings, the Windies scored 189 for nine while South Africa replied with 186 for five. South Africa quickly took control during their second innings thanks to some stellar hitting from Dewaldt Engelbrecht and JP Duminy; these two combined for a 95-run partnership which set the tone for their efforts and the rest of their innings.

The Netherlands were given an ambitious target of 193 in 14.2 overs, but managed to meet it comfortably thanks to aggressive batting. They successfully advanced to Super 10 stage with this win and will go on to compete in an ICC World Cup qualifier tournament which features teams from around the globe.

The Netherlands boast a strong record in this tournament, winning both of their previous appearances. But their recent struggles have raised questions as to their ability to perform at their maximum capacity in this competition.

Losses to England and India as well as an unexpected rain-affected loss against Afghanistan has caused concern; hopefully their form can improve during remaining matches so as not to drop out entirely of contention.

South Africa 186 for 9

South Africa won the toss and elected to bat, losing both openers – Gerry Pike (9 from 7 balls) and Murray Coetzee (20 from 17 balls). But du Plessis and Miller put on an outstanding 93-run partnership that took control of the game for the Proteas, helping them score 186/6 from 50 overs. At number three batting spot Rubin Hermann also made an outstanding contribution with an unbeaten maiden ODI hundred off 124 deliveries, only becoming the fourth player from South Africa ever to achieve that feat on debut!

Australia’s bowlers struggled early as South Africa established an impressive lead. Dewald Brevis (25) and Codi Yusuf (24) led Zimbabwe in scoring with Dewald Brevis scoring 25 while Codi Yusuf nabbed 24 not out for Zimbabwe.

But Australia showed tremendous courage by mounting an incredible comeback, thanks to centuries from Corbin Bosch and Lhuan-dre Pretorius that allowed them to secure victory from an otherwise precarious position.

South African batsmen maintained pressure on the home side, with Miller striking four sixes during his 66-ball innings – beating West Indies captain Desmond Haynes’ previous World Cup debut record of 30 runs set back in 1978 by West Indies captain Desmond Haynes himself and becoming youngest ever player to score double-hundred ODI runs.

Proteas fell behind their goal when AB de Villiers (35) fell to Matt Henry. Hazlewood then coaxed two misleading shots out of Miller, first top-edging over Carey’s head and later misguided pulling into midwicket.

Zampa replaces Starc as the bowler but his replacement fails to reinvigorate the run chase. He attempts a couple of short deliveries intended to keep Miller honest but was swiftly met with an exasperated dismissal through square leg from him.

After an extended break, Finch brings Hazlewood back in but he cannot match his previous success. A long hop and single put the batsmen at risk and require one run per over – something which never happened previously.

A dot to the final delivery from the new ball brought down the target to 185, leaving just two runs off seven balls required by Miller for victory. He slashed an inswinging yorker from Hazlewood over the rope for four to cap an incredible comeback and give South Africa their fifth ODI series win against Windies! Proteas are currently on top of the ICC One Day International (ODI) rankings.

Their last defeat came during an exciting 2015 World Cup semi-final against tournament runners-up New Zealand; after their elimination they have since come back stronger to dominate ODI cricket once more. The team is led by AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis and David Miller; supported by Sheldon Cottrell and Fidel Edwards who were key components in reaching the final last year. Furthermore, they boast a strong squad of spinners which should give them every edge against opponents in this match-up.

Netherlands opener Roelof van der Merwe and Yorkshire’s Ryan Ten Doeschate kept up the chase with some powerful hitting, until bowler Dirk Nannes introduced himself and bowled full tosses that left batsmen gaping at his full tosses; their batsmen eventually began falling behind required rates after several catches were taken.

Darron Reekers unleashed a string of sixes from Darron Reekers that brought back hope for the Dutch. Reekers opened by pulling off James Anderson before hitting Ryan Sidebottom for six and taking the score past 100 with ease, before attacking with two sixes against Ryan Broad and Alexei Kervezee over square leg ropes for six each time before only Darren Gough’s return catch to deny van der Merwe kept an incredible comeback from happening but still resulted in a triumphant win for them over hosts.
