2014 ICC World Twenty20

David v Goliath match this morning..

South Africa v the Netherlands
Nervious start from SA, after all you wouldn't want to be beat by the minows. 3-1 and Amla has just survived a close run out

Malik's got 5 wickets for 19 against the mighty South Africans.
With one over to go SA135-9.

Steyn's going to be needed

South Africa have made a bit of a mess of things making 145-9
Ahsan Malik 5-19 Amla 43

You would expect that South Africa can still defend a moderate total.They were guilty of some poor shot selection,maybe expected to post a total closer to 200 rather than 150.

My money is on the Netherlands,but only just.

These are the best ever figures by an Associate bowler against a Full Member side in a T20 international. It helped restrict South Africa to 145/9 after they were 92/3 at the half way stage of their innings.

Netherland score 63-1 in the Power Play overs..(0-3 after 10 overs Myburgh made 51 from 28 balls.

South Africa win by 6 runs as Netherlands are bowled out for 139.

The Netherlands lost this game rather than South Africa winning it.

England won the toss against Sri Lanka and decided to bowl. Both sides are unchanged from their previous match.

The Netherlands very nearly pulled off a remarkable victory against South Africa bearing in mind they were skittled out for 39 against Sri Lanka 3 days earlier.

I see that England's fielding is up to it's usual low standards - again. Two dolly catches dropped.

Sri Lanka make 189/4 in their 20 overs and I have a question. Is there a record for the number of dropped catches in an innings and if so did England beat it?
