"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

Sri Lanka trail the Caribbean team in ninth place with 81 points. Sri Lanka have one game left against New Zealand, also on Friday. A victory will take them to 91 points. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">South Africa are in 10th place with 78 points. Two wins over the Netherlands this weekend will take them to 98 points. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ireland are in 11th position on 68 points with three matches in hand against Bangladesh. If Ireland whitewash Bangladesh and South Africa win their two matches in hand, both teams will be on 98 points, then it would come down to net run rate — Ireland’s net run rate is currently better than South Africa’s. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things get more complicated with thunderstorms expected in Benoni on Friday. A rained-out match means South Africa will receive five points and their fate will be out of their own hands and in Ireland’s. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“It’s nice to be back [at Willowmoore Park], it’s generally a pretty decent wicket. Hopefully, the rain stays away and we can get down and play some cricket,” said De Kock. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“I’m going to try to give my absolute best not to go to Zimbabwe for the qualifiers. If we have any chance of not going I will do my best.

We were disappointed after the loss but also fairly happy about how we went about things. The West Indies played well.” </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walter experimented with the playing XI throughout the five white-ball matches against West Indies. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he has selected what looks like his strongest possible squad for the two ODI matches against the Netherlands — and barring injury — one that will likely look similar to the World Cup squad — if South Africa qualify, of course. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">“It’s quite nice, the fact that a lot of the guys got some time out in the middle and got some form [heading into the Dutch series],” De Kock added. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first ODI against the Netherlands starts on Friday at 1pm at Willowmoore Park in Benoni. </span><b>DM </b>\r\n<h3><b>Proteas ODI squad against Netherlands</b></h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temba Bavuma (captain, Lions), Quinton de Kock (Titans), Bjorn Fortuin (Lions), Reeza Hendricks (Lions), Marco Jansen (Warriors), Heinrich Klaasen (Titans), Sisanda Magala (Lions), Aiden Markram (Titans), David Miller (Dolphins), Lungi Ngidi (Titans), Anrich Nortje (Warriors), Wayne Parnell (Western Province), Kagiso Rabada (Lions), Tabraiz Shamsi (Titans), Rassie van der Dussen (Lions).</span>\r\n\r\n<iframe title=\"School admissions\" width=\"100%\" height=\"641\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" data-tally-src=\"https://tally.so/embed/w4Q90b?alignLeft=1&hideTitle=1&transparentBackground=1&dynamicHeight=1\"></iframe><script>var d=document,w=\"https://tally.so/widgets/embed.js\",v=function(){\"undefined\"!=typeof Tally?Tally.loadEmbeds():d.querySelectorAll(\"iframe[data-tally-src]:not([src])\").forEach((function(e){e.src=e.dataset.tallySrc}))};if(\"undefined\"!=typeof Tally)v();else if(d.querySelector('script[src=\"'+w+'\"]')==null){var s=d.createElement(\"script\");s.src=w,s.onload=v,s.onerror=v,d.body.appendChild(s);}</script>",
