World T20 League 2024

Match 16: NED vs SA

Preview 

In the 9th edition of the World T20 League 2024 Netherlands (NED) will meet South Africa(SA) in the match 16 of the tournament. This match is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 08th June 2024 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, United States from Group D. Both NED and SA head into the second group match of the T20 World Series with expectations of success in consecutive matches.

South Africa (SA) has already humiliated Sri Lanka (SL) in their opening league encounter, they are big favourites for this match given their strength across the board and they are very likely to dominate this match against the Dutch. Even though NED has improved massively in the last few years, they are still struggling on several fronts compared with the top opposition. NED might have opened the group stages with a victory over Nepal(NEP), but a lot tougher tests await the team in this game.

NED provided a strong bowling display against Nepal(NEP), but their bowlers will face a much stronger batting line-up from SA for this match. Scott Edwards-led NED needed a lot more from the likes of Max O'Dowd and Sybrand Engelbrecht to step up in this massive clash. On the other hand, the Proteas did not show a lot of urgency while chasing and this could also be one of the factors.

NED and SA have faced each other in 2 matches in T20I format. Out of these 2 matches, SA has won 1 whereas NED has come out victorious on 1 occasion.

Skippers of either side will be looking to win the toss and will be looking to bowl first. This track will be difficult for batter especially during the new ball and the pacers will be able to make hay during the early exchanges.
