I am very proud. This is a fantastic moment for Dutch cricket.

It is the Netherlands' best achievement, by far.

We’ve beaten South Africa before at a World Cup and haven’t we also defeated England once

Yes, those were in a different format ( T20) , the one that got approved for LA28 programme.

Thank you for jogging my memory. So indeed our best achievement. There’s dancing in the streets of Amsterdam tonight.

 Captain talking about reaching semis. That's nice they have to believe in themselves.

 

 Next.  Dutch have to back to beat at least 4 of them. Aussies not doing great this time

Right. A few days ago I thought I got it when I saw a team won by X wickets, but it's won by runs instead of wickets then  

 

I think I'm not really getting it yet

If the team batting first wins, then the team is said to have won by difference of the runs scored by the two teams. For example, team A batting first scores 100 runs and team B scores 70 runs, then team A won by 30 runs.

If the team batting second wins, then the team is said to have won by number of wickets left as the game is stopped the moment team batting second scores more runs irrespective of number of overs remaining. For example, if team A batting second has scored more than team B but lost 6 wickets in the process, then team A won by 4 wickets as 4 more wickets were remaining
