The Netherlands cricket team recently defeated South Africa in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Against this backdrop, a viral video claiming to show Netherlands’ fans celebrating their win has gone viral on social media. The fans can be seen dancing to the tunes of Jai Shree Ram in the video.
A Facebook user posted the viral post with a caption:Â
সাউথ আফ্রিকাকে হারিয়ে উৎসবে মেতেছে নেদারল্যান্ডস এর সমর্থকেরা.. 😎..
(English translation: The Netherlands supporters are celebrating the festival after defeating South Africa.. 😎..)

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, the NM team identified a YouTube shorts video on an unverified channel, dated September 10, 2023. It looks somewhat similar to the viral clip as its description indicates that these are the fans of the Dutch football team.
Another YouTube shorts video on an unverified account, dated July 9, 2022, also matches with the viral clip. And the date of posting pre-dates the clash between Netherlands and South Africa in the ongoing World Cup.Â
Even the song here is different from the one used in the viral clip, which might have been superimposed on the videoÂ
Although we could not verify the original source of the viral video, it’s confirmed that the video has been online since July 2022.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post, claiming to show The Netherlands fans celebrating their win over South Africa, is false.
