Netherland defeated South Africa in T20 World Cup 2022 (x.com)

For the 16th match of the T20 World Cup 2024, the Netherlands will take on South Africa at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York on June 8. Both teams are high on confidence as they are fresh off victories in their previous ties. 

It is an highly anticipated game for cricket fans as the two teams share a great history. Understandably, the Netherlands are the underdogs, but in the recent past, they have enjoyed great results against the Proteas. 

Notably, the Dutch side beat South Africa in the 2022 T20 World Cup edition, which saw the African side crash out of the tournament. Further, the Proteas also faced humiliation at the hands of the Netherlands during the ODI World Cup 2023. 

NED vs SA: Team Previews

Netherlands

The Netherlands looked in great touch in their opening game against Nepal, as the bowlers shone for the Men in Orange and restricted Nepal to a low total of 106. 

As usual, Logan van Beek proved crucial for the Netherlands as he took a three-wicket haul against Nepal. Meanwhile, spinner Tim Pringle is also in solid form and won the player of the match award for his 3/20.

To talk about the batters, opener Max O'Dowd made a statement with the bat and scored an unbeaten 54 (48), which included four fours and a solitary six. As far as the line-up goes, it is unlikely that the Scott Edwards-led side would go for any change.

South Africa

For the Proteas, they humiliated Sri Lanka in their opening match as the bowlers restricted the Lankan total to a mere 77 runs. 

Anrich Nortje was the player of the match for his four-wicket haul. The positive for South Africa is that they played their first game at the Nassau Stadium and are well aware of the conditions of the ground. 

Talking about the batters, they also struggled against Sri Lanka and would look to prove their worth against the Netherlands. South Africa are also expected to go with the same playing XI.

The surface at the Nassau Cricket Stadium has come under scrutiny for its uneven bounce which even saw Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant injuring themselves against Ireland.
