Netherland Scott Edwards Breaks Kapil Dev’s 36-Year World Cup Record
In The Netherlands’ Match Against South Africa, Netherland Scott Edwards Breaks Kapil Dev’s 36-Year World Cup Record.
The Netherlands Stunned South Africa In Their Third ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Encounter On Tuesday, October 17, In Dharamsala, Following In The Footsteps Of Afghanistan To Kick Off The Season Of Shocks. Being A Non-Full Member, The Importance Of This Victory Is Multiplied, Especially Since The Dutch Got Into Trouble In A Match Of 43 Overs Per Side.
Rain Was Falling In Dharamsala When South Africa’s Skipper Temba Bavuma Decided To Bowl First, And The Bowlers Delivered As The Dutch Were Reduced To 50/4 And Then 141/7 In 34 Overs Before The Game’s Outcome Changed. Roelof Van Der Merwe’s Few Lusty Blows Gave Dutch Captain Scott Edwards, Who Watched The Entire Action Unfold From The Opposite End, The Inspiration To Change His Approach. As Edwards Approached His Fifty, They Simply Kept Hitting And Feasted On The Obstinate Slower-Shortball Strategy.
Van Van Merwe Was Dismissed After Making 29 Off 19 And Was Partnered By Aryan Dutt To Further Humiliate The Proteas. At The Opposite End, Edwards Continued To Mark The Scorecard. Edwards Smashed 10 Fours And A Six To Score 78 Off 69 Deliveries, While Dutt Hit Three Sixes To Remain Unbeaten On 23 Off 9 Balls.
