SA vs NED Live Score: South Africa is brimming with confidence after registering back-to-back wins in the ODI World Cup 2023. Proteas are geared up & all set to display a gleaming performance against the Netherlands in Match 15 of World Cup 2023. South Africa registered a massive win in their last clash against Australians & will able to continue to do the same against underdogs Netherlands. The Netherlands lost to New Zealand in the last game and will aim for their first win.
This time the Dutch side lacks experience like the other teams. They have batted poorly in both of their last fixtures & failed to capitalize on the performances with the ball. It will be a big test for their bowlers & they will aim to get going in this fixture. South Africans have key players in good form & will look to move up on the Points Table. It will be surprising to see if the Netherlands can pull a surprise win or will lose this fixture as well.

Netherlands Preview
Scott Edwards’s team is not doing well in the tournament so far as they are coming on the back of two losses in a row. They have suffered a poor 99-run defeat in their last game against New Zealand & will aim to make a strong comeback in this fixture. They will face a strong & competent batting order & will aim for a more disciplined show from their bowlers if earning maiden points in the CWC 2023 is on their mind.
Vikramjit Singh & Max O’Dowd must stitch a rewrading of a stable stand at the top order to increase their winning chances. Achermann has played well in their last fixture & must build strong stands in the middle order with Bas de Leede and Teja Nidamanuru. Edwards, Sybrand Engelbrecht, and Roelof van der Merwe must do well in the lower middle order to the team if winning is on their mind.
Their bowling attack looked toothless in their last two games. The team will need a good show with the new ball from Aryan Dutt and Ryan Klein. Roelof van der Merwe and Shariz Ahmad need to bowl tight & effective spells in the middle overs with proteas batters looking in an attacking mood so far in the tournament. Bas de Leede and Ackermann must bowl good spells in the supporting role. It’s crucial for the Netherlands to deliver effective bowling spells if winning is on their mind.
Netherlands Predicted Playing XI:
Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Ryan Klein, Aryan Dutt, Shariz Ahmad
SA vs NED Pitch & Weather Conditions
The climate at Dharamsala looks cloudy but there are chances of weather clearing during the fixture. Batting won’t be effective in overcast conditions & it will be difficult for batters to score runs in overcast conditions. Dharamsala’s pitch is totally different from other Indian pitches. It provides great assistance to fast bowlers with good bouncers. Batters have struggled a lot on this pitch & have seen several Wickets tumble in the past. They need to play their A game with caution.
Toss: To Bowl
Most teams have chosen to bowl first in the tournament & won the fixture. Dew comes in the picture later in the fixture & it’s almost difficult to deliver with the wet ball. Thus we expect the team winning the toss to bowl first.
SA vs NED Winning Prediction
The Netherlands team will feel low after two consecutive losses. They are hanging on the thread of defeat & have to win this clash if they want to stay alive in the tournament. On the other hand, Proteas looks settled & in red hot form. Their fast bowling is in great form & looking at both teams’ stats & performances in the tournament so far we aim for South Africa to win this fixture.
