Group 1 - South Africa v Netherlands, Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong

South Africa beat Netherlands by 6 runs in a thriller.Chasing 146 to win, Netherlands started explosively much like SA did as Myburgh rattled up a quickfire fifty as the others stuck around with him but his dismissal started a slide that was again similar to the pattern set in the South African innings. Tahir was the star with the ball for SA with his 4 wicket haul while Steyn bowled yet another terrific spell. In the end, the lack of experience cost Netherlands as they blew away a golden chance to beat a top team.

South Africa: 145 for 9,Amla 43, Malik 5-19

Netherlands: 139, Myburgh 51, Tahir 4-21

Very pleased. It was a good team effort. We had a belief We will win this game. But it was a tough game. I just try to bowl wicket to wicket and am really pleased the way it came off - Imran Tahir (Man of the Match)
