T20 World Cup 2022 Most Runs and Most Wickets standings: Max O'Dowd makes big jump in the batting list – Updated after Match 40

South Africa locked horns with the Netherlands in their final Super 12 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, November 6. The Dutch side caused one of the biggest upsets in the tournament, beating the Proteas by 13 runs.

Batting first, Tom Cooper and Colin Ackerman's quickfire knocks propelled the Netherlands to a challenging total. After a cautious start by openers, Cooper shifted gears with a swashbuckling knock of 35 off just 19 balls, laced with two boundaries and as many sixes.

The momentum continued as Colin Ackerman smashed an unbeaten 41 off just 26 deliveries to get his side to a challenging total of 158/4 in 20 overs.Keshav Maharaj picked up two wickets for the Proteas.

It looked like an easy run chase for South Africa at the halfway stage but the Dutch bowlers had other plans. Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma got starts but failed to convert them into big innings. Rilee Rossouw's dismissal sent tremors, and David Miller's catch from Roelof van der Merwe was probably the final nail in the Proteas' coffin.

Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj tried their bit at the end but fell 13 runs short. With this defeat, South Africa once again bowed out of the T20 World Cup.
