Netherlands v South Africa ICC World Cup 2011 Match Report
AB de Villiers, who made 107 in their first match against West Indies, struck a 134 from 98 balls with 13 fours and four sixes - his 11th one-day century.

He shared 221 with Hashim Amla who made 113 off 130 balls in 351-5, the highest one-day international total in Mohali.

In reply, Wesley Barresi hit five fours in 44 but spinner Imran Tahir took 3-19 as the Dutch were all out for 120.

South Africa's record third-wicket partnership in World Cup matches ensured a formidable total but they had their problems in the early part of the innings in cloudy conditions before a small crowd.

Skipper Graeme Smith played across the line to one from around the wicket and lost his leg-stump, while Jacques Kallis, who made only four against the Windies, was dismissed for just two, caught down the legside.

De Villiers hit an exquisite array of shots in another masterful innings and, having completed his hundred from 88 balls, he promptly fired three successive sixes from the first three deliveries of the 44th over bowled by Bernard Loots.

In the next over, the opening three deliveries from Ryan ten Doeschate were dispatched to third man, cover and mid-off for four.

With De Villiers in such prime form, Amla quietly accumulated his eighth one-day century from 121 balls before he was tucked up trying to hit through the off-side and sliced a simple catch to point.

De Villiers was run out seeking a second run but JP Duminy displayed some sweet timing to launch a four and two sixes from three consecutive deliveries in the final over.

The Dutch reply began confidently with 26 from the first five overs before Kallis struck with his opening delivery, clutching a sharp return chance offered by Alexei Kervezee at the second attempt.

Kallis saw Barresi badly spilled at mid-on by Morne Morkel but in his next over the all-rounder conjured up the wicket of Tom Cooper when a top-edge was smartly snaffled on the fine-leg boundary by Dale Steyn.

Former Sussex batsman Bas Zuiderent hit a glorious straight drive for six off slow left-armer Robin Peterson but was lbw next ball as the spinners began to take control.

Pakistan-born leg-spinner Tahir soon bamboozled the batsmen with a googly and two quicker balls as the final six Netherlands wickets fell for 20 runs in seven overs.

Meanwhile Man-of-the-Match De Villiers, who did not keep wicket due to a back injury as Morne van Wyk took the gloves, said:

"I have been feeling my back for the last few days. It's obviously tough batting and then keeping, which I am not quite used to. But I am getting there and luckily the management decided to give me some time off."

Captain Smith said: "From our perspective it was just nice to win and win well. We've got a big two games coming our way now. England on Sunday and then India. It's nice that we've got a bit of a run of games and we can get a bit of confidence going and get on a roll."

	44.5 107.4 kph, caught! Amla makes room to dispatch a length ball through the off side. He was cramped for room and ended up slicing the ball towards point, where the fielder took a simple catch 279/3
	GC Smith*	b Loots	20	57	32	1	0	62.50
	12.5 114.7 kph, bowled him! Smith stays in his crease and tries to force a good length ball angling into him from round the wicket on the leg side. He played across the line and missed completely, Loots hit leg stump and uprooted it. 51/1
	JH Kallis	c †Barresi b ten Doeschate	2	10	12	0	0	16.66

	45.4 Mudassar Bukhari to du Plessis, full ball in the blockhole, dug out towards long-on. There's an easy single on offer but hang on, they want a double. AB is in trouble here as he sprints back and dives full length. The throw from the deep is good and the bowler breaks the stumps with AB well short 283/4

	AN Kervezee	c & b Kallis	10	23	18	1	0	55.55
	5.1 134.1 kph, not Kervezee for sure, Kallis strikes first ball, was on a length on middle and off and Kervezee just went through with an attempted straight drive, striking it straight back to Kallis who clasped it on the second attempt 26/1
	W Barresi†	st †van Wyk b Duminy	44	98	66	5	0	66.66
	22.4 74.3 kph, there's an appeal for a stumping and van Wyk is confident. Duminy, from round the wicket, slanted the ball across Barresi who pushed forward in defence. The ball sped past his outside edge and van Wyk whipped off the bails in a flash. Replays show that Barresi had dragged his foot out and only managed to get it back on the line before the bails were broken. On the line is not good enough, he has to go. 83/4
	TLW Cooper	c Steyn b Kallis	9	26	21	1	0	42.85
	11.5 136.7 kph, Steyn proves he's a better catcher than Morkel, thatr was judged very well, short ball from Kallis and Cooper went for the pull, bounced higher than he expected, got a top edge and Steyn running a few yards to his right from fine leg took it in front of his face and retained his balance 46/2
	B Zuiderent	lbw b Peterson	15	38	26	1	1	57.69
	21.3 82.1 kph, lbw! Zuiderent lunged forward to defend, the ball came in with the arm from over the wicket and hit him low on the pad on the front foot. The impact was more than 2.5 meters from the stumps but Asoka de Silva said out and Zuiderent did not review it. That would have hit the stumps, in my opinion 81/3
	RN ten Doeschate	lbw b Steyn	11	23	21	0	0	52.38
	27.5 135.6 kph, massive appeal for lbw from Steyn, and after an age Asoka raises the finger to send ten Doeschate on his way. Steyn pitched the ball outside off and cut it into the right-hander. ten Doeschate was beaten for pace and was late in bringing his bat down. The ball thudded into the pad first and that's plumb 100/5
	TN de Grooth	run out (Smith)	12	35	26	0	0	46.15
	32.1 from Imran Tahir, a direct hit at the non-striker's end and de Grooth is run out. He nudged the ball off his pads towards the leg side and the fielder at square leg swooped on the ball and unleashed a deadly accurate throw. de Grooth was just short. Smith was the fielder I think. 109/7
	PW Borren*	lbw b Peterson	3	14	13	0	0	23.07
	31.4 84.0 kph, there's another appeal for lbw which leaves Asoka unmoved and Smith wants a review. Not a no-ball. The ball pitched in line with the stumps and straightened. Borren planted his foot forward, tried to play across the line, and got hit on the pad. Replays show it was hitting the middle of middle, or thereabouts. Asoka has to change his decision. 109/6
	Mudassar Bukhari	b Imran Tahir	0	5	4	0	0	0.00
	32.3 74.0 kph, cleaned up by the googly. Bukhari swung at the ball with a rather large gap between bat and pad. Tahir pitched the googly on a length and spun it through that yawning gap. 110/8
	PM Seelaar	not out	2	15	5	0	0	40.00
	BP Loots	lbw b Imran Tahir	6	8	7	0	1	85.71
	34.3 87.2 kph, was that the flipper? Seemed like it, short on middle and skidded on, he just didn't have a clue, was caught on the back foot and rapped on the pads right in front of middle. He's called for a referral but replays show there was no impact with the bat and that he was dead plumb 120/9
	BA Westdijk	lbw b Imran Tahir	0	2	2	0	0	0.00
	34.5 80.6 kph, It's all over for Netherlands, Tahir slipped that one in quicker, around middle and off, and it appeared to go straight on, the batsman stepped forward, tried to close the face and missed and was struck in line. The umpire gave it out, but a referral was called for by Netherlands. As it turned, replays only confirmed he was gone 120/10
