South Africa vs Netherlands Match Prediction | ICC CWC 2023

RSA vs NED Match Prediction

When South Africa plays the Netherlands in the tournament’s 15th match, they hope to continue their winning streak. The South Africans are coming into this match with a huge victory over the Australians, which will give them confidence. The Netherlands will try to earn their first victory after losing to New Zealand in the previous encounter.

Their bowlers will face a significant challenge in this match. Key South African players are in good shape, and they will want to advance on the points chart. It will be intriguing to see if the Dutch team manages a shock victory in this match.

SQUAD PREVIEW

South Africa Preview

The team of Temba Bavuma is off to a dominant start in the competition. In the final game, they defeated Australia by 134 runs, defying the odds. The team will want to win here and retake the top spot on the points table by taking advantage of their key batters and bowlers being in strong form. 

Quinton de Kock, who scored 100 points in the previous game, will want to get this game off to a strong start with Temba Bavuma. They will try for partnerships with Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen because the middle order has performed effectively for the side. Along with Marco Jansen, David Miller is a strong batter who brings firepower to the lineup. 

Since they bowled well against Australia, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen will try to help the team out right away. In the middle overs, Kagiso Rabada will try to use his pace to hamper the Dutch batsmen. The circumstances will be encouraging to Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi, and they will play a significant role.

South Africa Predicted XI:

Quinton de Kock, Temba Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, and Tabraiz Shamsi are among the players on the field.

Netherlands Preview

The Dutch team has suffered two straight losses, and these are huge losses for Scott Edwards’ team. They need to mount a great recovery after losing to New Zealand by a score of 99 runs in their previous match. Since they are facing a potent batting order, Edwards wants his team to play with more focus in order to win and score their first points. 

For the team to have a good chance in this game, Vikramjit Singh and Max O’Dowd must form a solid partnership. To form partnerships in the middle order with Bas de Leede and Teja Nidamanuru, Colin Ackermann must draw on his performance from the previous game. To win this game, the side needs Roelof van der Merwe, Sybrand Engelbrecht, and Scott Edwards to perform well in the lower middle order. 

In both games, the bowling attack fell short. Aryan Dutt and Ryan Klein will need to put up a strong performance with the new ball for the team. The South African hitters will test Roelof van der Merwe and Shariz Ahmad in the middle overs, so they must bowl precise spells. In the supporting role, Bas de Leede and Ackermann must bowl strong periods.

Netherlands Predicted XI:

Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Ryan Klein, Aryan Dutt, Shariz Ahmad, Teja Nidamanuru, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Colin Ackermann, Teja Nidamanuru

THE PITCH AND THE WEATHER

Weather Conditions

Dharamshala will have cloudy sky, and during the game, we might see the clouds part. Under the cloudy sky, batting won’t be simple, therefore batsmen must exercise caution. Being close to 300 runs will make the team batting first delighted.

Venue Details

Dharamsala’s wicket has always been particularly distinctive from others in the subcontinent. From the surface, fast bowlers can get good bounce and pace. On this surface, batsmen have had difficulty, and there have been many games with few goals. They need to form alliances if they want to succeed at this arena.

Toss: To Bowl

In this event, the majority of teams have chosen to bowl first. At this time of year, dew is a significant influence, making it challenging for bowlers, particularly spinners, to use a wet ball. Therefore, we anticipate that in this game, the team that wins the toss will not hesitate to bowl first.

Winning Prediction

South Africa will Win this Match

The Netherlands team will be depressed following two straight defeats. Their players need to step up and play with more vigor now that they are in the big league. To win this game, the team will need runs from the top order. The South African fast bowling attack has been effective and has been precise. They become the game’s favorites as a result.
