WICKET! That should be the end of the game. Full and straight angling in, Kingma goes for the wild hoick and misses. The ball goes through to clatter the stumps. Kingma is the last batter to be dismissed as the game is over. South Africa wins this game by 146 runs to win the series 2-0.

9:11 PM IST: A clinical performance from South Africa in all facets of the game gives them a win by 146 runs to win the game and the series 2-0. They collect ten crucial WSL points and are almost through to the World Cup 2023. The Dutch showed great fight and character, but it was a bridge too far as the Proteas won this game quite easily in the end.
Chasing an improbable 371 for the win, the Netherlands showed great fight and character out there. Vikramjit Singh scored 21. Max O' Dowd scored a good 47. Musa Ahmed top scored with an excellent 61. The skipper Scott Edwards scored a quickfire 42 off 33 balls. Wesley Barresi scored 29. The rest of the batting fell away towards the end as the Dutch were eventually bowled out for 224 in 39.1 overs.
Sisanda Magala was the pick of the bowlers for South Africa as he picked up his debut five wicket haul. He finished with 5/43 in 9 overs. A couple of wickets for the man with the golden arm Aiden Markram who scored a brilliant hundred earlier in the day. A wicket for Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen. No wickets for Anrich Nortje but he was hostile as ever and hit Musa twice on the helmet.
Earlier in the day, South Africa were put into bat by the Dutch and they amassed 370/8 in 50 overs. They lost their openers Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma early. Rassie van der Dussen scored 25 and Heinrich Klaasen scored 28. But it was all about one man and his name was Aiden Markram. His majestic 175 off off 126 balls powered the Proteas innings forward. He was ably supported by David Miller who made 91 off 61 balls. This was Markram's first ODI hundred. The duo of Markram and Miller shared a partnership of 199 between them. Marco Jansen got 11* off 13 balls in the end.
It was a hard day for the Netherlands bowlers today as all of them went for runs. Fred Klaassen was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/43 in 10 overs. A couple of wickets for Vivian Kingma and Paul van Meekeren. Shariz Ahmad and Aryan Dutt got a wicket apiece as well. But apart from Fred Klaassen, all the bowlers were taken to the cleaners by the duo of Markram and Miller.
So, a win by 146 runs as South Africa wins the series 2-0 and collect crucial 10 WSL points. They move onto 98 points and move upto 8th in the WSL standings. Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony coming your way soon.

Scott Edwards (Netherlands Captain): " We were almost there with the ball. 370 was destined to be challenging. Fred had good ball control. Youngsters have been amazing. There is still a long way to go. An exceptionally youthful team for the series. The guys are developing rapidly. Hopefully, we raised plenty of money."
Aiden Markram (Player of the Match and Series): "It did. Thanks. A lot of relief going through. It was great to get the monkey off the back and credit to all who supported me. Glad it helped the team. David's knock was great and he is finishing games for us. Today he almost finished the innings for us. I mean he has been awesome. Would have been lovely had he got a hundred. But a great innings from him. Yes, it's been a nice period. Super grateful how it's going. The team is in the direct direction in both the red ball formats and white formats. We are doing well and that's good to see. Yes some people are getting injured as you say especially when Miller hits them. So, hope they are fine. I am liking entertaining people. Thanks a lot."
Temba Bavuma (South Africa Captain): "Yeah, we got what we wanted in terms of points and in terms of qualification. Magala was outstanding with the ball and picked up his fifer today. He raised his hand and delivered for us. Constantly trying to strike the wickets, things have worked out well for him. He constantly puts his best foot forward. It's always fun here. We were pleased to contribute to the effort to raise the money.
The bowlers were grinning as well since there were wickets and fours and sixes flying around. We're happy to have contributed to the substantial funding raised. For me, everything have gone well. I'm becoming better at hitting the middle of the bat."

Temba Bavuma will collect the trophy and will now take the trophy to his team mates. They deserve this win and it is indeed time to celebrate for South Africa. Temba Bavuma and his men deserve it.
