The action will continue in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as South Africa and Netherlands will take on each other in Match 15 on Tuesday, October 17 at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. South Africa are coming into the game having won their previous fixture against Australia by 134 runs. They’re ranked on the third spot on the points table with two wins from two matches having four points to their name.

The Temba Bavuma-led side have been phenomenal in the tournament so far as they’ve beaten both their oppositions comprehensively. They first shattered record books against Sri Lanka by posting the highest total in World Cups (428/5) and won the game by 102 runs. In the second fixture, they blew away Australia by 134 runs and announced them as one of the favourites for the mega title.

On the other hand, the Netherlands are coming into the game having lost their previous match against New Zealand by 99 runs. They began their tournament with an 81-run loss against Pakistan. The Scott Edwards-led side has had a few players who’ve stood up for the team in the first two matches but have lacked the collective team effort.

In the first game, riding on Bas de Leede’s heroics (4/62, 9 overs and 67 off 68), they bundled out Pakistan for 286 but they later got all out for 205. In the second game, they failed to chase down the target of 323 and got bundled out for 223 with Colin Ackerman top-scoring with 69 (73). The upcoming fixture will be crucial for both teams as the Dutch will be eager to get their points on the board while the Proteas will look to continue their dominance.

SA vs NED Pitch and Conditions

A total of six ODIs have been played at the venue where four have been won by teams batting second. The average first innings score has been 229 while the highest target chased is 227. In the first game played at the venue in the tournament, the surface was great for batting as England posted a massive score of 364/9 in their allotted 50 overs. Hence, the captain winning the toss is likely to bat first and make good use of the good batting conditions.

South Africa (SA)

South Africa have been on a roll in the tournament so far and have looked one of the most potent teams in the tournament so far. The Temba Bavuma-led side will not be willing to make changes to their winning combination and are likely to field the same XI.

Predicted XI: Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi

Netherlands (NED)

The Netherlands have been marred by injury to their all-rounder Logan van Beek who missed out the last game due to a hamstring niggle. The team management would hope that he recovers soon to bolster their squad.

Predicted XI: Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Ryan Klein/Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren
