The Dutch team, bolstered by players from cricketing nations like Australia and New Zealand, recently triumphed over Nepal in their T20 World Cup opener, thanks to Max O'Dowd's unbeaten 54. Despite fewer T20 matches in 2023 due to ODI commitments, they have secured significant victories in past World Cups and recent tri-series.
South Africa, seeking to avenge their previous World Cup loss to the Netherlands, commenced their 2024 campaign with a commanding win over Sri Lanka, highlighted by Anrich Nortje's career-best 4/7. However, the top-order's performance remains a concern, mitigated by the reliable Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller. Klaasen's exceptional form, showcased in the IPL, underscores the Proteas' potential, yet they are acutely aware of the need to approach the Dutch challenge with utmost seriousness.

Pitch report
It is the same venue where the South African bowlers decimated the Lankan batters. The captain who wins the toss will have no hesitation in bowling first. With the variable bounce in the pitch one can expect the team batting first to find it difficult to cope with the pace and bounce.
