Played at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts (neutral venue)
16 March 2007 (50-over match)


South Africa innings (40 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
AB de Villiers	c †Smits b Stelling	0	2	2	0	0	0.00
0.2 Gotcha! Stelling nails de Villiers. Short in length, well outside off and de Villiers couldn't resist a flash. All he got was a under edge which was safely pouched by the 'keeper. 0/1
GC Smith*	c van Bunge b Borren	67	75	59	6	2	113.55
18.6 Smith perishes slogging. Heaves, a fullish delivery on the middle stump line, across the line, gets a top edge and it skies towards backward point. After few nervous moments under the swirling ball, he holds on to it and the South African captain is back in the hutch 114/2
JH Kallis	not out	128	157	109	11	5	117.43

HH Gibbs	c Szwarczynski b van Troost	72	46	40	4	7	180.00
30.5 The looter is gone! The slaughter ends. He charges down the track and goes for another six but ends up holing out to Szwarczynski at long-on, who does very well to judge a spiralling skier 219/3
MV Boucher†	not out	75	36	31	9	4	241.93

Extras	(lb 2, w 8, nb 1)	11

30.5 to Gibbs, The looter is gone! The slaughter ends. He charges down the track and goes for another six but ends up holing out to Szwarczynski at long-on, who does very well to judge a spiralling skier 219/3


Netherlands innings (target: 354 runs from 40 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
B Zuiderent	b Pollock	1	3	10	0	0	10.00
4.1 That's the danger! Pollock, after taking away numerous deliveries, brings this one back in. It landed on the same spot that the others had pitched - on a length and outside off, but this one slided in. Zuiderent was so used to leaving everything that he repeated the robotic leave. To his horror the ball crashed into the off stump 6/2
DJ Reekers	run out (Prince)	4	2	6	1	0	66.66
2.2 Pollock to Zuiderent, Tragedy. Zuiderent pushes a length-delivery towards short midwicket and sets off. Reekers is not interested. he does take few steps but freezes after that. Zuiderent kept running, Reekers back pedalled. Zuiderent charges on and reaches the crease first. Reekers doesn't make a great effort to reach first. 5/1
AN Kervezee	c Pollock b Langeveldt	17	34	52	2	0	32.69
14.2 Kervezee falls to a pull shot. Banged in short and outside off, he fetches it from there, the ball hits the top half of the bat and balloons to Pollock at mid-on. 33/3
RN ten Doeschate	run out (de Villiers)	57	119	74	8	1	77.02
35.1 Kemp to de Leede, Doeschate's promising knock ends. Via a run out. Pity. Pushed to cover, both batsmen not sure whether they want a run. Take a few steps. Meanwhile de Villiers swoops on to the ball and Doeschate is sent back. He tries to scramble back home, at the non-striker's end, but fails to beat the direct hit 114/6
DLS van Bunge	lbw b Hall	5	20	16	1	0	31.25
19.2 on the pads and given! pitched just a tad outside the line of off stump and coming in, van bunge tries to turn it to the on side but is caught at the crease, the ball strikes the top of the front pad, Hall goes up in appeal and Mark Benson raises the finger. Replays show the ball missing the stumps. Perhaps not the best decision 47/4
ES Szwarczynski	lbw b Smith	12	28	31	2	0	38.70
26.5 Gone this time! Smith changes tack and fires this one across. Surprises Doeschate who is beaten for pace as he tries to dab it to on side and is caught dead plumb 72/5
TBM de Leede	b Kemp	21	36	36	2	0	58.33
37.3 Gone! de Leede is back in the hutch. Full and straight, de Leede tries to heave it over mid-on, bat meets air and the ball meets the middle stump. 124/7
PW Borren	run out (Kallis/Smith)	2	13	6	0	0	33.33
38.6 Smith to van Troost, Another run out. cut away to deep cover and they turn for the second run. Mistake. The throw from Kallis comes in flat and fast, Smith takes it front of the sticks and whips the bails off and Borren is found short 131/8
LP van Troost*	c Smith b Kemp	5	10	6	1	0	83.33
39.6 Captain takes out captain! a slower one from Kemp and van Troost again charges out, attempts a lofted shot but is deceived by the change in pace. Smith moves to his right from mid-on to take the catch. South Africa register thier biggest victory in one-day internationals 132/9
