The in-form South Africa will take on the Netherlands in match 15, at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala. South Africa is the favorite while the Netherlands has fewer chances to win against the in-form and rebranded Protease. They are playing the way England used to play for the last few years. Their position on the points is quite strong after playing two matches. They are placed third on the point tally with 4 points a healthy NRR of 2.360. South Africa’s batting and bowling are in supreme form.
The playing 11 might not be that crucial for South in this match as the opponent is not that strong even though the Netherlands has beaten them in a crucial match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. South Africa can do some experiments here. But, the management would go with the same combination.

The Net Run Rate of the team in South Africa is already the highest but they need to beat the Netherlands by a huge margin to make it more strong. So, the management will not alter the winning combo.
On the other hand, on paper and based on performance the Netherlands team is not that threatening but they can take a leaf from the victory they achieved last against the same team. The Netherlands should use the “Nothing to Lose Formula” and go for the kill. What is expected from them is a good fight.
