Netherlands, in the mean time, had shown momentary looks of what they may be fit for here with weighty yet energetic losses to Pakistan and New Zealand. This match followed the content, until Edwards and Roelof van der Merwe - who sparkled with bat and ball - tore it up to get a 38-run win, Netherlands' first against South Africa in ODIs. Having slipped to 50 for 4 then reeled to 140 for 7, Netherlands heaped on 105 runs from the last nine overs by means of Edwards, who completed on 78 not out off 69 conveyances, van der Merwe with 29 off 19 and Aryan Dutt with 23 off 9 to set an objective of 246 that had appeared to be so far-fetched when South Africa's speed group of four of Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee and Lungi Ngidi set about their work. Then, at that point, van der Merwe took two wickets for three runs with his initial eight balls in South Africa's run pursue as Colin Ackermann and Paul van Meekeren additionally trapped early wickets to leave the mind-boggling pre-match top picks reeling at 44 for 4. Quinton de Kock endeavored to paddle Ackermann, just to throw a catch to manager Edwards through glove then shoulder, Temba Bavuma saw his stumps splattered by van der Merwe's most memorable ball, van Meekeren beat Aiden Markram's safeguards with a more limited conveyance which kept low and Rassie van der Dussen switch cleared van der Merwe directly to Dutt at in reverse highlight put South Africa in a wide range of trouble. David Mill operator and Heinrich Klaasen seemed to be steadying things with a run-a-ball organization of 45 however at that point Logan van Beek, back in the Netherlands side subsequent to missing the New Zealand conflict with a hamstring injury, had Klaasen out spooning a short ball directly to Vikramjit Singh at fine leg.

So it demonstrated, notwithstanding Keshav Maharaj and Ngidi putting on 41 runs for the tenth wicket, Maharaj edging van Beek to, as a matter of fact, commander Edwards to seal the outcome with one ball in excess. In the wake of winning the throw in wet circumstances which loomed over Dharamsala to defer the beginning by two hours and lessen the match to 43 overs for every side, South Africa typically picked to bowl first to phenomenal impact, confining Netherlands to 22 without misfortune before Rabada entered the assault in the seventh over and struck right away. His most memorable ball squeezed Singh for space as he attempted to pull and sent a top edge soaring for Klaasen to take a phenomenal jumping get subsequent to running quite far back from slip. Toward the beginning of the following over, Jansen ringed in with the wicket of Max O'Dowd, got behind by de Kock, in spite of the fact that it took a South Africa survey to certify the excusal. Toward the finish of the first powerplay, diminished to nine overs, Netherlands were 28 for 2 and the wickets kept on falling in a constant flow as South Africa's seamers nailed their lengths and skipper Bavuma utilized their surveys shrewdly, as confirmed again in Rabada's lbw excusal of Bas de Leede with a diamond that pinched back off a length outside off stump and collided with the cushion just underneath the knee roll, ball-following uncovering that the highest point of center was in danger.

In any case, it wasn't long after that South Africa began discharging runs - and additional items (an eye-watering 32 for the match) - and handling blunders sneaked in, permitting Netherlands to recuperate from the 82 for 5 they wound up at when Edwards stepped to the wrinkle. Van der Merwe grabbed 15 runs off one Coetzee over, including six over profound third, Edwards having despatched Rabada over the wall at profound square leg a brief time frame before as the pair put on 64 runs for the eighth wicket. Ngidi gave a valiant effort to return South Africa on target with a sluggish bouncer that van der Merwe sent flying towards short third, de Kock venturing across to assemble, yet not before Netherlands had recuperated to 204 for 8. Dutt then collaborated with Edwards to proceed with Netherlands' push, his unbeaten 23 off only nine balls involving three sixes, over lengthy on, profound midwicket and out of the ground past profound square, as the pair added a solid stand worth 41 and gave South Africa a mountain to ascend which demonstrated as forcing as the Himalayas sitting above the arena. Netherlands 245 for 8 (Edwards 78*, van der Merwe 29, Jansen 2-27) beat South Africa 207 (Miller 43, van Beek 3-60, van der Merwe 2-34, de Leede 2-36, van Meekeren 2-40) by 38 runs 43 overs a side
