Netherlands vs South Africa WC 2023
Big Upset after Afghanistan beat defending Champion England a couple of
days ago.
Did South Africa make a mistake by choosing to bowl first after winning
the toss OR they just became complacent and lost.

Yes, an even bigger upset when you compare the relative strength of the Afghanistan and Dutch sides. Well done the men in orange! It's going to
make the match on Saturday between England and South Africa even more of
a crunch game, with both sides coming off shock defeats and both needing
to win if their chance of making the semis isn't to become close to
zero. (I know that if SA lose to England it will only be their second
defeat, but they still have India, NZ and Pakistan to play.)

Given that Netherlands fell to 140-7 off 33.5 overs in a match reduced
to 43 overs a side, it looks like bowling first was in theory the right decision. There was no way that the Dutch should have scored another 105
runs off the last 9 overs and one ball while only losing one more
wicket, but the bowling fell apart.

But South Africa batting is so strong, shouldn't they have applied
themselves better and overhauled Netherlands 245?
South Africa scored 428 vs SL and 311 vs Australia which are much
better teams than Netherlands.
Bangladesh Chased down Afg with 158/4 in 30 overs and won on the same pitch.
England scored 364 on the same pitch vs Bangladesh
Dutch dudes played well though with more intensity than SA, it appeared.

There is a fitting side to the Dutch success at cricket. The Dutch were the closest to England as administers of an empire and the evolution of having some system of political representation .Did South Africa make a mistake by choosing to bowl first after winning >the toss OR they just became complacent and lost.Given that Netherlands fell to 140-7 off 33.5 overs in a match reduced
