NED vs SA, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 17: Who Said What

David Miller, Man of the Match: "Whole lot better now (how's the heart?). It was a good finish in the end. Wicket played a bit better than the first game but it was still going around. Credit to the Netherlands guys who hit their areas well.

"Wanted to tick over the scoreboard as much as we can. Can't go into a shell. They made it difficult for us to score. We just tried to ground it out as much as we could. We have got over the line with our tailenders (before), so I had faith in the guys coming in. First ball of the second last over went, and I thought I have to finish the game here."

Aiden Markram: "It was nerve-racking. Got to give credit to them and also credit to us upfront (with the ball.) It's a game of cricket, they (Netherlands) have proved that they can beat the best teams. They have beaten us twice (in ICC tournaments), not a mental block or something.

"The game of cricket makes it a bit tricky. We are moving forward as a squad. Sometimes the wins are going to be convincing. To squeeze a win out of that (12/4) situation, it's good for the team environment.

"If compared to the first game, I think the wicket played well today. It was better than the first game. We have been good in the field and with the ball. We need to get some confidence while batting, especially while batting at the top."

Scott Edwards: "In a score of 100, it changed the game, credit to South Africa they bowled well, credit to their batters how they batted in the end. Probably hard to tell. We were just getting an understanding of the slow outfield and the way that wicket played. I think we pride ourselves playing in tournament cricket, we find our ways of playing (well) in such (pressure) games. I back our guys, it was a tough wicket to start."
