The scars from their 38-run loss against the Dutch in last year’s 50-over World Cup might still be fresh in the minds of the Proteas. The Aiden Markram-led side would certainly want a reversal this time around. The most encouraging signal from their win over Sri Lanka was the form of Anrich Nortje. Along with Kagiso Rabada, Nortje forms a strong combination upfront, and SA will require them in full flight against the Netherlands, who started with a six-wicket win over Nepal.
They also ticked a few boxes in that match as frontline batter Max O’Dowd made a fifty while leading pacers Tim Pringle and Logan van Beek took three wickets apiece. The Dutch side will be hoping for another clinical outing from their top players to bruise their fancied opponent once more.

77 and 96. These are the scores of teams batting first in New York and it has been extremely tough scoring especially. Conditions become a tad easier to bat in the second innings but early in the morning, the ball swings a lot and adds to the spongy bounce in the surface which makes it tough to score runs.

Netherlands will look to repeat last edition’s feat and carry their winning run from the victory over Nepal, while Aiden Markram’s South Africa will look to avenge last edition’s loss and register two wins on the trot following a thumping win over Sri Lanka in the opener. We can expect a nail-biting match for sure. South Africa will be favourite though.
