South Africa vs Netherlands Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Even though Netherlands did well in the qualifiers, against big teams they have struggled to do well in powerplay. In both games thus far, Netherlands openers have looked passive and seem to take their time on the wicket especially in the powerplay. Netherlands have scored 35 and 47 in the powerplay so far this season. Looking at the form of South Africa top order, we believe South Africa would score more than Netherlands in the powerplay.
Teja Nidamanuru’s form has been a cause of concern for Netherlands. In the last five matches, Nidamanuru has scored 21, 5, 0, 10 and 2 averaging 7.6 runs which is pretty low and showcases his struggles in the World Cup. We believe Nidamanuru would struggle to score against South Africa, who were exceptional in the bowling department in the last game against Australia.

South Africa vs Netherlands Betting Odds
South Africa to score more sixes than Netherlands
The way the World Cup has panned out for South Africa thus far it's hard not to back them in this game considering the fact, Netherlands remains in the opposite spectrum when it comes to form. South Africa exploded against Sri Lanka as they scored 428 runs which included 14 sixes. In the last game against Australia, once against South Africa smashed eight sixes in the game taking their total tally to 22 sixes in the first two games. In the last five matches South Africa has scored 8, 14, 14, 20 and 7 averaging 12.6 sixes a game. On the other hand, Netherlands have struggled to hit big shots in this tournament. In the first game against Pakistan, Netherlands bagged four sixes in the game and in the second game which was played on a flat wicket which had no assistance for the bowlers, Netherlands could only manage three sixes and conceded seven sixes against New Zealand. What makes the tip even more enticing is the fact South Africa has scored more sixes in four of the last five games which makes us believe they would do it once again in the upcoming fixture.

South Africa vs Netherlands Top Team Batters
Quinton de Kock to be South Africa’s top batter
It's hard to look past Quinton de Kock who has been sensational in the World Cup thus far. In each of the two games thus far De Kock has scored a century which makes him the leading scorer in this tournament. De Kock was in sublime form prior to the World and managed to take his form into this tournament which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Bas de Leede to be Netherlands’s top batter
Netherlands batters have faltered in each of the two games thus far. They have lacked fire power and experience that is required to do well in this tournament. Bas de Leede has showcased his prowess throughout 2023 and seems to be the only player who has looked good with the bat this term which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
South Africa vs Netherlands Top Team Bowlers
Marco Jansen to be South Africa’s top bowler
Marco Jansen has been outstanding for South Africa thus far, he seems to find additional bounce on wickets which have been pretty flat which has resulted in important wickets in both games thus far. Jansen took two wickets in each of the first two games which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
Bas de Leede to be Netherlands’s top bowler
It's fair to say Netherlands would go as far as Bas de Leede takes them in this tournament. He has been sensational for Netherlands in both departments as has taken 20 wickets in nine matches. Bas de Leede has already bagged five wickets in the first two matches which makes him our top pick for the upcoming fixture.
