It's the big game for the Proteas who will come all guns blazing at the Dutch in the 2nd rescheduled ODI that would happen at Willowmoore Park, Benoni, South Africa as the hosts are looking to directly qualify for the World Cup in India, later this year.
Team Preview: South Africa
South Africa are coming off a drawn ODI series against the West Indian side as they lost the second game and won the third while the first match was washed out.
With some high-profile players available in the XI, they would be quite confident this time around too. The likes of David Miller, Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje are the key performers for the side as they have been magnificent in the past.
Temba Bavuma's leadership qualities have been exemplary and these games would only be the litmus test for the gritty skipper.
Team Preview: Netherlands
After a closely fought ODI series versus Zimbabwe where they lost 2-1, the Netherlands side would be hoping to turn the tables in the remaining two ODIs on the African shores.
Two of their three games went in the final over as the Chevrons gave a tough fight in those encounters. Talking about their side, Shariz Ahmed was fantastic with the ball whereas Max O'Dowd was decent with the bat alongside a century from Teja Nidamanuru.
