4:17pm This is Netherlands' second-highest ODI score against South Africa and they owe it to the bright forties from Vikramjit and Nidamanuru. Vikramjit and O'Dowd added a strong opening stand before the latter fell. Vikramjit's wicket in the 15th over brought South Africa back in it big time. Magala and Nortje softened the Netherlands middle order with pace before dismissing them.

Bavuma also used the spin duo of Shamsi and Markram to slow the recovery in the middle overs. Shamsi and Magala finished with three wickets apiece with Nortje contributed with a couple. There is a fair bit of rain forecast through the game - and we are fortunate to have not had one till now. Will that change the equation for South Africa? Or will the hosts dominate in the chase? We'll find that out soon.

Jansen to Klein, OUT, Jansen does it all himself - bowls it, catches it and ends Netherlands' innings! Bowls the slower one on a length on middle and leg, Klein looks to go over mid-on but ends up skying it. The bowler himself settles under it and takes it. Netherlands bowled out for 189!
