- ... PRESENTATION TIME ...
- For South Africa, Sisanda Magala was exceptional and he was the star with a fifer. Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi did a good job too. Markram can also be happy with his performace but Tabraiz Shamsi will be slightly disappointed. Overall though, the hosts will be very happy with how things turned out. They needed to win both the games and they did.
- Yet another thumping win for the hosts! To be honest, it was all set up by the batters, Markram especially who scored a brilliant ton to take his side to a mammoth score. In reply, Netherlands did start well, the top three played exciting cricket but they failed to score something significant. They needed a special effort by someone but that did not come.
