Cricket World Cup 2023: Roelof Van Der Merwe's UNBELIEVABLE One-Handed Low Catch To Dismiss Steve Smith Goes Viral; WATCH

Netherlands cricketer Roelof van der Merwe redeemed himself with a stunning catch of Steve Smith after his effort to get David Warner out went in vain. It all happened during the Australia vs Netherlands game in Delhi when Warner was taking charge against the Dutch team and somehow he gave a catch to van der Merwe. It was a difficult one to complete - the Dutch fielder caught it but the ball was touching the ground when he was completing the catch. A couple of balls later, Smith gave him a chance and he made sure it was completed. (Babar Azam To Be Sacked As Captain After World Cup, THESE 3 Players Underlined As Captaincy Options: Report)

Australia skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat against the Netherlands in the World Cup match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday. Australia will be keen to keep their winning streak active and maintain their Top Four spot with a victory. While the Netherlands who have produced a good brand of cricket will be keen to pull off another upset just like they did against South Africa.

Australia captain Pat Cummins said during the time of toss, "We will have a bat. Looks like a lovely wicket. The sun is out. Happy with the way we have played the last couple of games. The bridge is still too far for Head. Stoinis has a niggly calf. Cam Green comes in."
