Netherlands vs South Africa Preview


The Netherlands beat South Africa at the last T20 Cricket World Cup, but that isn't a likely outcome this time around. The value is in the run scoring markets.

Head-to-Head


The Netherlands caused a major upset in the last T20 World Cup by beating the Proteas. 

Netherlands Form


Netherlands won their opener against Nepal by six wickets with eight balls in hand.

Netherlands bowled superbly to restrict Nepal to under six runs to the over. They ended all out on 106 off 19.2 overs, Tim Pringle (3/20), Logan van Beek (3/18), Paul van Meekeren (2/19) and Bas de Leede (2/22) doing the damage with the ball.

Max O'Dowd (54* off 48 balls) led his side through to the win off 18.4 overs with six wickets to spare.

Netherlands News


After the strong win against Nepal, the Netherlands aren’t likely to change their lineup. Their bowling is highly effective and they will hope to knock over the Proteas top order to reduce the impact of their power hitters.

South Africa Form


South Africa crushed Sri Lanka in their opening match by six wickets, although Sri Lanka made them work hard for their win.

Kagiso Rabada (2/21) and Keshav Maharaj (2/22) both picked up valuable wickets, but Ottneil Baartman (1/9, econ 2.25) was incredible on his World Cup debut. Pride of place went to Anrich Nortje, whose figures of 4/7 (econ 1.75) left Sri Lanka shattered as they were bowled out for 77 in the 20th over.

South Africa made heavy weather of their chase, losing four wickets cheaply. Quinton de Kock top-scored with 20 off 27 balls as the Proteas wobbled home off 16.2 overs.

South Africa News


South Africa are in good form with bat and ball, but it’s their bowling attack that might make the biggest impact. They might regret not taking advantage of Sri Lanka’s score to boost their net run rate, but batting conditions were difficult.

Verdict

I am backing South Africa to win. I am also backing Reeza Hendricks to top score for South Africa.

Max O'Dowd is a good bet to top score for the Netherlands.
