South Africa vs Nepal Preview

South Africa have already qualified for the Super 8 stage and will be looking for their fourth straight win. Nepal are a minnow nation and shouldn't cause the Proteas too many problems.

South Africa’s David Miller (94.00) is 3rd in the T20 World Cup batting averages list.
South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen hit three sixes in his innings of 46 against Bangladesh.
Nepal’s Rohit Paudel has scored 82 & 35 in his last 3 innings.
Nepal’s Anil Sah has scored 58 & 24 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head

This will be the first meeting between the two teams in a full international.

South Africa Form

South Africa made it three wins from three in this World Cup when they beat Bangladesh by four runs.

South Africa recovered from 23/4 to post 113/6 off their 20 overs, Heinrich Klaasen top-scoring with 46, including three sixes.

Bangladesh were 50/4 but recovered well, only for an attempted winning six off the second last ball of the innings to fail to clear the ropes, with the catch being held by Aiden Markram to ensure South Africa could sneak home by four runs. Keshav Maharaj (3/27, econ 6.75) returned the best figures for South Africa.

South Africa News

South Africa are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Nepal Form

Nepal’s second match in the World Cup was abandoned without a ball bowled. Their first match saw them lose by six wickets to the Netherlands.

Nepal were bowled out for 106 off 19.2 overs, skipper Rohit Paudel top-scoring with 35 off 37 balls.

The Netherlands were flying to victory at 71/2 before a late rally from the Nepal bowlers knocked over two more Netherlands batters, but they couldn’t prevent the Netherlands slipping home with eight balls in hand. Sompal Kami (1/18, econ 4.50) returned the best figures with the ball for Nepal.

Nepal News

Spin wizard Sandeep Lamichhane is likely to replace left-arm spinner Sagar Dhakal for this match. Lamichhane was the fourth-leading wicket-taker in ODIs in 2023.

Verdict

South Africa v Nepal

I am backing South Africa to win. I am also backing David Miller to top score for South Africa.

Rohit Paudel is a good bet to top score for Nepal.
