The third place play-off of the Twenty20 Quadrangular was won by Netherlands, who beat South Africa Emerging Players by a huge margin of 42 runs, at Wanderers Cricket Ground, Windhoek.
After winning the toss, the Dutch chose to bat first as they wanted to post a huge total on the board to give their opponents a run for their money.
Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/W-Barresi-c2773 and MR Swart did just what was expected of them as they rattled the bowlers and managed to give their side an opening stand of 42 runs. This batting duo played its last on the wicket of MR Swart, who perished after scoring 13 runs off ten
deliveries.
The second-wicket partnership between Barresi and TLW http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cooper-c51561 was ruthless as this pair took the sting out of the bowling attack by jabbing the bowlers everywhere, keeping the fielders on their toes.
This partnership took the score to 129, after which it was time for Barresi to take the walk off the field as he was removed by Wiese, after smacking a brilliant knock of 70 runs off 45 deliveries.
This was then followed by another potent partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Graham-Robert-Cowdrey-c60631 Bunge, which led the side towards 155 runs, before Cooper met his demise after hitting a knock of 44 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DLS-van-Bunge-c1385 and Mudassar Bukhari then helped their side reach 182 runs, before watching their fourth wicket go down when van Bunge was dismissed by Siboto after scoring 41 runs off 22 deliveries.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Netherlands-c753 managed to post a nifty score of 206 on the board.
The target was enough to rattle http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 Emerging Players, as they knew that they needed to give a belligerent performance in order to overcome this huge target.
They lost their first wicket with only 12 runs on the board. However, the second-wicket partnership between CS Delport and K Zondo was interesting as it took the score to 70, before the latter perished with ten to his name.
The rest of the batting was disappointing as they crumbled on 164 runs in 19.2 overs, with CS Delport as the best batsman from his side for having scored 65 runs.
