World Cup: Dutch targeting semis after upsetting SA?
The Dutch secured only their third World Cup victory, having previously defeated Namibia in 2003 and Scotland in 2007. Tuesday's triumph marked their first-ever win over a Test-playing nation in the 50-over showpiece. Notably, the Netherlands had previously surprised South Africa in the Twenty20 World Cup held in Adelaide last November. Edwards praised the pivotal role played by all-rounder Roelof van der Merwe, who had represented South Africa in 13 ODIs before joining the Dutch team.
