Mohali, 03 March 2011: The Netherlands made early inroads into South African camp, claiming Graeme Smith (20) as the scorecard read 51/1 in the thirteenth over.

 

Smith was clean bowled by paceman Bernard Loots’ angling delivery that uprooted the leg stump, sending the Dutch into celebration mode.

 

Soon after, Jacques Kallis too lost his wicket, bringing AB de Villiers to the crease. The Netherlands captain Peter Borren won the toss and elected to bowl against South Africa in their Group B match of the cricket World Cup.

 

South Africa have made one change to their team, bringing in Morne van Wyk instead of Johan Botha. The Netherlands are playing the same team which lost to the West Indies in its previous group match.

 

Teams:

 

The Netherlands: Peter Borren (capt), A Kervezee, W Barresi, T Cooper, R ten Doeschate, B Zuiderent, T de Grooth, Mudassar Bukhari, P Seelaar, B Loots, B Westdijk

 

South Africa: Graeme Smith (capt), H Amla, J Kallis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, F du Plessis, M van Wyk, R Peterson, M Morkel, D Steyn, Imran Tahir.
