South Africa Demolish Netherlands

A well-oiled South African team made very short work of an inferior Netherlands team at St. Kitts in a highly mismatched Group A clash. It was epitomized by Herschelle Gibbs, who slammed six sixes in an over and setting a new record. South Africa smashed 353 from 40 overs (due to a match delay) against Netherlands and then restricted them to only 132 for 9, winning by the embarrassing margin of 221 runs.

Final score:
South Africa: (3 wickets, 40 overs) 353
Netherlands: (9 wickets; 40 overs) 132
