However, Edwards and RVM's spirited batting display turned the game around. South Africa's chase faltered early, losing four wickets within the first ten overs, as Dutch spinners kept them in check. Aryan Dutt set the tone with a maiden over, and RVM's all-round performance further shook South Africa's hopes. The Netherlands captain emerged as a savior with both the bat and his strategic field placements. This historic win marks the first time that the Netherlands has defeated a Test-playing nation in a 50-over World Cup, underscoring the unpredictable nature of cricket, with Afghanistan's recent triumph over England adding to the drama.

SA vs NED LIVE: Netherlands Captain Scott Edwards

"Extremely proud. We came in with high expectations. We had very good players. Happy to get the first win out of the way. Hopefully, few more wins. We do a fair bit of research. We come up with a few matchups. Some days it works and some days it doesn't. We were in decent positions in the first few games but then fell away. I am sure there will be plenty of fans staying up and watching this. Extremely happy with the win."

SA vs NED LIVE: South Africa Captain Temba Bavuma

"I think we had them at 112 for 6. We shouldn't have allowed them to go past 200. We dropped the ball there. Still we were confident with the chase. But they were able to extract some deficiencies in our batting department. We were clinical against Australia. We could have controlled the extras. The fielding wasn't up to the standard. Not the same standard we had against Australia. We need to have some conversations with the boys. You got to let the emotion to seep in. It will hurt. Our campaign is not over by any stretch of imagination. That was a proper display from them. They put us under pressure throughout. Good luck to them."
