Beuran Hendricks replaced Morne Morkel who had an awful spell against New Zealand on Monday.
Happy Birthday to Imran Tahir, he's 35 today.
Quinton de Kock went for a duck in the first over off the bowling of Michael Swart.
The first ball of the over was a wide which was followed by a dot ball. Amla then followed that six with 4 fours, handing South Africa a 23 run over.
Malik strikes and Amla's out after scoring a quick 43 off 20 balls. South Africa sitting on 45-2 in 4.3 overs and then reached 50 runs in 5.4 overs, 2 wickets down.
The match against Netherlands produced South Africa's best powerplay score of 58-2. Maybe if they didn't lose any wickets, it would have been an even better score.
Once again, one too many shots from Faf du Plessis resulted in the fall of his wicket. The skipper went for 24 runs.
A change in the batting order from the South Africans brought Albie Morkel to the crease, hopefully to do some major damage to the Netherlands.
There were missed run outs for the Netherlands, so if they had timed their throws perfectly, the South Africans could have lost some of their wickets to run outs.
At the end of 10 overs South Africa were 92-3.
Unfortunately AB de Villiers tried to smash the ball for a boundary, but found a Netherlandsman in the deep and he was gone.
South Africa reached 100-4 in 12 overs.
South Africa lose another. Morkel not doing what he wanted to do. He sent the ball high up and was caught in the deep off the bowling of Malik.
South Africa started well, Amla behind a lot of those runs. However, when they started to lose wickets, they were under a lot of pressure. The loss of wickets made their projected score lower and required them to increase their run rate. South Africa were no longer finding the gaps to score runs.
South Africa continue to struggle close to the death. Duminy, the last recognised batsman become the 6th batsman to depart. The South Africans found themselves on 120-6 in 15.5 overs.
At one stage South Africa were 84-2. They lost 4 wickets for 36 runs.
Steyn scored the first boundary in 8 overs but the next ball sent him back to the dugout after a slight nick, off Malik who claimed his 3rd wicket of the match, his 10th of the tournament. It began to look like South Africa could be bowled out before reaching 20 overs. Malik added yet another to his bag of wickets, when he took the wicket of Hendricks and went on to take his 5th wicket when he bowled out Miller. He finished with figures of 5-19 and became the leading wicket-taker for the Netherlands.
A good effort from the Netherlands left the South Africans with 145-9 at the end of 20 overs. The Netherlands need 146 runs to win in 20 overs.
The Netherlands had a good start, the run rate higher than required and the South Africans being punished for leaving out Morkel because his height would've caught a few balls.
The Netherlands reached 50 runs in 4.5 overs.
After a major thumping, Dale Steyn and an exceptional catch by the skipper got rid of Swart.
The Netherlands ended the powerplay on 63-1, with Myburgh reaching his 3rd T20 international 50 off 25 balls.
The bowling of Duminy removed the dangerous Myburgh. As he walked off, he looked down at his gloves because he hadn't changed them. It's humid in Bangladesh. The bat came off his hands and flew behind him.
Barresi moved across his wickets, Tahir hit him with an lbw and sent him back to the dugout. Sadly for the Netherlands, the ball didn't turn enough and would've missed the wickets.
After 10 overs the Netherlands were 90-3.
The birthday boy got his second wicket, another lbw, this time to get rid of Peter Borren. Tahir claimed his 7th wicket of the tournament. That wicket brought the other Cooper to the crease.
The Netherlands got to 100 runs in 10.5 overs, with the loss of 4 wickets.
When Steyn went back into the attack, he broke the Cooper brothers partnership by removing Ben Cooper and sent Bukhari to guard his wicket.
Tahir's first ball of his last over went through the legs of Tom Cooper and went on to hit his stumps. The birthday boy then claimed his 4th wicket as Seelaar was out for 2 runs, and took his tally to 9 wickets in the tournament. Two wickets and two runs off Tahir's final over. Tahir finished his spell with 4-21, his best T20 international figures.
A mix up down the wicket as a result of a communication break down and a throw in from Miller, gave the South Africans a run out. The Netherlands 125-8.
Du Plessis decided to bowl Steyn with 4 overs remaining. It looked like quite a gamble since the South Africans need him at the death.
Steyn finished his spell with 2 wickets from 19 runs.
After terrible spell, Tsotsobe finally had a wicket to his name. Bukhari tried to go for the maximum but Miller got under it and took the catch. Then, the Netherlands stood at 134-9 with 2.1 overs remaining. Steyn dropped a catch off Tsotsobe's bowling, disappointment was written all over him. Tsotsobe finished his 4 over spell with 46 runs and a wicket.
With 2 overs remaining, the Netherlands needed 9 runs to win.
Hendricks delivered, van der Gugten swung hard, got a little nick and de Kock made no mistake taking the catch behind the stumps.
Tahir was named man of the match as South Africa beat the Netherlands by 6 runs with 8 balls remaining, the Netherlands suffered their 2nd consecutive loss.
