Cricket World Cup: South Africa take a walk through the Netherlands

South Africa crushed the Netherlands by 231 runs in a lop-sided Group B match to record their second successive victory in the World Cup on Thursday.

AB de Villiers powered South Africa's win with a score of 134 from 98 balls



Centuries from AB de Villiers and Hashim Amla set South Africa on their way to a 231-run victory – the fourth-biggest in Cricket World Cup history – over the Netherlands in their Group B match in Mohali on Thursday.

De Villiers scored 134 from 98 balls and Amla 113 off 130 balls in the South Africans' total of 351 for five in 50 overs, the highest one-day international total in Mohali.

Medium pacer Mudassar Bukhari was most economical of the Dutch bowlers with his steady line and length, giving away just 17 runs in his first spell of six overs.
