South Africa Preview and Playing XI
South Africa won both the matches played in the tournament. Their batting and bowling departments worked in coordination and complemented each other perfectly. The Proteas are expected to go in with the same playing XI that played against Australia.
South Africa Playing XI: Quinton de Kock (WK), Temba Bavuma (C), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi.
Netherlands Preview and Playing XI
Netherlands lost both their matches while chasing and in both the matches they got off to good starts and were bossing the chase at the 20-over mark. In both the run-chases Netherlands fell apart from the 20th over losing wickets at regular intervals as they tried to accelerate scoring which has led to their downfall and the inconsistency in their middle order has cost them both the matches. The Dutch would like to draw inspiration from their famous win over South Africa in the 2022 T20 World Cup and will be aiming to register their first win of the 2023 ODI World Cup.
Netherlands Playing XI: Vikramjit Singh, Max O’Dowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (C & WK), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren.
