Aryan Dutt comes back into the attack. Controlled off-break from him. Doesn’t let Miller get under the ball. But he drops it short against Klaasen, who pumps it to the cover fence.

Netherlands is on the top here. It was only last year that they got the better of South Africa in the T20 World Cup and now here are primed to repeat the trick.

Klaasen and Miller out in the middle. Both are new to the crease and are yet to get their feets sorted. Van der Merwe with another tight over.

Ackermann arrows one into QDK’s pads. The Proteas batter brings out the sweep shot, plays it fine enough and gets a boundary from it.

Quinton de Kock c †Edwards b Ackermann 20 (22b 3x4 0x6)

Off-spinner Ackermann brought in early. He holds a good length, not offering Bavuma and De Kock any easy balls. Gives away just a single.

NED 141/7 in 34 overs

Runs have cut down. South African bowlers have put Netherlands batters in a grid lock. Captain Scott Edwards and Logan van Beek at the crease right now with 12 overs still to go.

Netherlands is now six down as Marco Jansen has struck again. Teja Nidamanuru is given LBW. He was given out on field but Nidamanuru took DRS but the big screen showed three reds and he has walk back.

Netherlands loses half of its batters. Lungi Ngidi gets his first wicket in the form of Sybrand Engelbrecht who gets caught at deep fine leg, trying to play a hook.

NED 83/5 in 21 overs

Coetzee with his fourth over. Engelbrecht is willing to take on the pacer, coming onto the front foot.

Coetzee with a ripper to Teja. Good length delivery ripped off the pitch and almost few past QDK. Teja responds with an emphatic pull shot to the mid wicket fence. FOUR!!

Engelbrecht takes a chance at a Coetzee bouncer. Pull shot and it flies to the fence for the first six of the day. Gutsy shot!!

Ngidi goes for a bouncer against Engelbrecht. It goes above the batter and the keeper. Four wides.

Played on!!

Coetzee with one that slid in. Ackermann swings at it wildly and slices it onto his stumps.

Colin Ackermann b Coetzee 12 (25b 1x4 0x6

Coetzee starts with a couple of wides. The second one was so wide that Klaasen at first slip collected the ball.

Rabada pitches it up and Engelbrecht drives it straight back for a four. That should release the pressure a little bit for Netherlands.

Coetzee with his second over. A single brings up Netherlands’ fifty.

Netherlands unable to cope with Rabada’s pace. Bas de Leede tries to swipe across the line and is trapped in front. South Africa uses the review again to success.

Bas de Leede lbw b Rabada 2 (7b 0x4 0x6)

South African pacers are tightening the screws. The Dutch batters are finding it hard to keep the scoreboard ticking. Bad de Leede is the new batter and he swings wildly at a Jansen out swinger. Misses it completely.

Jansen follows up Rabada with O’Dowd’s wicket. Full length delivery angled away. South Africa appeals for a catch and the DRS comes through for the Proteas.

Max O’Dowd c †de Kock b Jansen 18 (25b 4x4 0x6)

Rabada with a bouncer straight away. He gets Vikramjit’s top edge and Klaasen makes a brilliant running catch, moving back from the first slip.

Vikramjit Singh c Klaasen b Rabada 2 (16b 0x4 0x6)

Jansen continues. He pushes a couple of out-swingers past Max’s outside edge.

From the other end, Vikramjit continues to stonewall Jansen. Just a single from the over.

Marco Jansen with the second over. Starts with a couple of leg side no balls. He drifts wide and Max guides him through covers for a four. FOUR!! South African pacers yet to trouble Dutch batters.

Ngidi drifts wide and Max lofts his effortlessly over covers for his second four. He follows that with a crunching cover drive. FOUR MORE!!

Vikramjit and Max O’Dowd open the innings for Netherlands. Ngidi with the first over for South Africa. Vikramjit is struck one the pad. Soft appeals from the Proteas. Nothing from the umpire. Maiden to start with.

The rain has stopped. The match will start at 4:00 PM IST. 43 overs per side.

It is drizzling. Covers are back on, mostly for precautionary reasons. And the match is delayed again.

South Africa has wins the toss and opts to bowl.

The rain has stopped and the covers are coming off. Players are warming up. Toss will happen at 2:32 PM IST. No overs lost so far.

It has started raining again. Covers are back on and the toss is delayed again.

We have confirmation. Toss to happen at 2 PM and the match to begin at 2:30 PM.

The taxi driver at the Kangra airport, just outside Dharamsala, introduces himself in such a heavy accent that the diary does not quite make out his name at first. “World Cup, World Cup,” he offers by way of clarification as he spots the diary’s accred card, perhaps assuming the diary doesn’t speak the local vernacular.

The diary is already late for the Bangladesh press conference, having flown in from Ahmedabad via Delhi, mainly because there are no direct commercial flights between the capital city of Gujarat and Dharamsala.

As expected, the toss is delayed. We are in for a wait for further updates.

The rain has stopped and the sky is clearing up a bit. The groundsmen are hard at work to clear up the ground. And the covers are coming off.

Though the Men’s Cricket World Cup started over 10 days ago, it was not until last weekend that it truly came alive.

On Saturday, India and Pakistan sparred in front of a sell-out crowd, with the match even featuring a glitzy pre-game show, usually the preserve of tournament openers. Then, on Sunday, Afghanistan dished out the first upset of the edition, soundly beating defending champion England.

On Tuesday, the Netherlands will look to join the party and rev up the festivities when it takes on the mighty South Africa at the HPCA Stadium here in Dharamshala.
