South Africa avoided their recent hoodoo against the Netherlands to register a thrilling three-wicket win in the 17th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, June 8. Ottneil Baartman delivered a sensational spell to restrict the Dutch side to 103 and then David Miller played a match-winning knock to help the Proteas register their second win of this tournament in New York.
In another low-score affair at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, bowlers from both teams shone with impressive spells but David Miller stood strong by smashing 59* off 51 balls to lead South Africa to a hard-fought win with seven balls remaining.
