Netherlands (NED) made little work of Nepal and won the one sided contest with ease. Scott Edwards will be happy that his team has begun well and will hope that his batters continue in the same vein and look to complete a hat-trick against the South Africans.
Aiden Markram will be hoping that South African (SA) team will continue to show the same ruthlessness that they had shown against Sri Lanka. Anrich Nortje with his four wicket haul had blown apart the Sri Lankan batting to bowl them out for 77.

Pitch Report
Captains
Dutch opener Max O Dowd was thre best batter for his team with unbeaten 54 in a tricky run chase against Nepal. South African bowlers will be wary of the talent he possesses with the bat as he one of Netherlands main batter.
The South African pacer was at his desructive best with the ball when he dismissed four Sri Lankan batters for just 7 runs from his 4 overs. Netherlands aren’t accustomed to playing such high speeds and this could be a huge headache for the Dutch side.
Top
Young left-arm spinner Tim Pringle was the best bowler for Holland in their game against Nepal. Pringle picked 3/20 from his 4 overs and put a breaks on the Nepal batters. His spin bowling could be crucial for the Dutch if they have to break the back of South Africa’s dangerous middle-order.
The last few months has seen Heinrich Klaasen take his batting to the next level. His crucial knock of 19 not out helped South Africa out from a trick situation against the Sri Lankan side. His batting against the spinners has been one of the most notable features and Klaasen will look to take the attack to the Dutch spinners as well.
Budget
Dutch all-rounder Logan Van Beek and his medium pace bowling saw him pick 3/18 in the game against Nepal. His penetrative bowling will come in handy on a helpful pitch in New York.
The veteran pacer has been impressive and his figures of 1/9 from four overs was the biggest reasons why Sri Lanka failed to get going with the bat. Baartman has been in good form during the SA20 as well as during the local South African T20 season.
