At Adelaide Oval: Netherlands 158-4 (Ackermann 41*, Myburgh 37, Cooper 35, Maharaj 2-27) beat South Africa 145-8 (Rossouw 25, Glover 3-9, Klaassen 2-20, de Leede 2-25) by 13 runs.

South Africa have been dumped out of the T20 World Cup in stunning fashion after a shock 13-run loss to the Netherlands in Adelaide.

The in-form Proteas had been expected to overcome the cricketing minnows without too much trouble in their final Group 2 game to set up a mouthwatering semifinal against the Black Caps in Sydney on Wednesday.

But they were thoroughly outplayed by an impressive Dutch side at Adelaide Oval as they failed to chase down a competitive 158-4, stumbling to 145-8 from their 20 overs.

It is the Netherlands’ first win over South Africa in any format, and means that Pakistan will likely play Group 1 winners New Zealand next after beating Bangladesh by five wickets at the same venue later on Sunday, unless India are upset by Zimbabwe in the final fixture of the day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

India have now qualified for the semifinals following South Africa’s loss, but there’s still a small chance they could slip to second in Group 2 should they lose to Zimbabwe.

The winners of Group 1 will face England in Adelaide on Thursday, after they secured their spot in the semifinals with a nervy win over Sri Lanka to oust hosts Australia.
