South Africa and Netherlands will face each other in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. The game is scheduled to start at 2:00 PM IST. The South African side are off to a flying start in this ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 tournament. Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, are leading South Africa's batting attack in the ICC CWC 2023. With the help of bowlers like Keshav Maharaj and Marco Jansen, the Proteas have become a formidable force in the premier tournament thanks to the leadership of Kagiso Rabada in the bowling attack. ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table Updated: Afghanistan Rise to Sixth Position With Shocking 69-Run Victory Against England, India Retain Top Spot

South Africa are sitting at third position with two win in two matches as the comfortably beat Sri Lanka and Australia. In their last match, South Africa completely dismantled Australia. Quinton de Kock 109 runs off 106 balls and Aiden Markram's 56 runs off 44 balls helped the Proteas side reach a total of 311 runs. The Australian side however failed to do any serious damage as the South African bowling line-up completely tore down the Australian batters. Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj were the stars of the match as Rabada took 3/33 in 8 overs and Keshav took 2/30 in his 10 overs. Marco Jansen picked up 2 wickets for 54 runs and Luigi Ndidi took 1 wicket. For Australia, only Marnus Labuschagne was the highest run scorer with 46 runs.

Netherlands, on the other hand, are sitting at ninth place on the points table as they lost both their opening games. As a batting team, Netherlands was short on runs, as trusted players like Vikramjit Singh, Colin Ackermann, and Bas de Leede have failed to convert their opening positions into meaningful contributions. To add to their issues more, the Dutch bowlers have also given up a lot of runs at a greater economy rate, which hasn't done the team any favours.

In their last match against New Zealand, the Dutch bowling unit was unable to stop Young Will and in-form Ravindra Rachin and the kiwis managed to score 322 runs. Roelof van der Merwe had the most impactful bowling innings as he took 2/56 in his 9 overs. However, Aryan Dutt and Paul van Meekeren took 2 wickets each aswell, but gave away a lot of runs. As a batting unit, the Dutch side was very horrible as they failed to make a significant impact while chasing the big total. Only Colin Ackermann played a good Innings scoring 69 runs off 73 balls. Netherlands need to level up their game if they want to make something out of this ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign.
