South Africa thrashed Netherlands by 231 runs in a Group B match to record their second successive victory in the World Cup on Thursday.
Put into bat, Hashim Amla (113) and AB de Villiers (134) added a record 221-run third wicket stand while Jean Paul Duminy (40) chipped in with a 15-ball cameo to propel South Africa to a commanding 351 for five at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium.
South African bowlers removed the Dutch top half as they reached 100 and bowled them out for 120 in 34.5 overs. Barring Wesley Barresi (44) none of them could show some resistance with the bat.
South Africa made a slow start after they had slumped to 58-2 in the 16th over. But De Villiers hit his second successive century in the tournament and Amla his eighth overall in the 50-overs format to bail them out.
Amla hit eight fours in his 130-ball knock. De Villiers was more fluent in his brisk 98-ball innings that included 13 fours and four sixes.
