Netherlands vs South Africa: Prediction [T20 WC 2024] – Best Bets
Netherlands and South Africa will face each other in a group D clash and given the rivalry between them, this is expected to be a cracker of an encounter. Here are the best bets for this Netherlands vs South Africa match.
Sybrand Engelbrecht to score under 14.5 – 10Cric @ 1.85, BET HERE
Sybrand Engelbrecht bats at number four and might have to face the likes of Nortje and Rabada up front which might lead to the batter getting out early.
Anrich Nortje to be top bowler of South Africa – 1xBet @ 4.33, BET HERE
Anrich Nortje picked up four wickets for just seven runs in four overs in the previous game against Sri Lanka played at the same venue. Hence, he is expected to pick wickets again.
Highest individual score in match – Under 64.5 – Parimatch @1.85, BET HERE
Teams are hardly being able to score runs in New York and clearly, scoring 65 runs is nearly impossible at the venue.
Venue and Pitch Analysis
The surface at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York has come under the scanner. The uneven bounce and balls spitting from good length have attracted criticism from the cricketing fraternity. Batting first is near impossible with ball swinging in morning as well and teams not crossing the 100-run mark yet in two matches.

Head-to-Head Record Netherlands vs South Africa
Netherlands and South Africa have faced only two times in T20 Internationals and both teams have won a game each.
Netherlands
This is a massive encounter for the Netherlands in terms of making it to the Super 8 round. Last time they faced South Africa in a T20 World Cup, they sensationally defeated them and the Dutch would back themselves to do it again. They are coming off a disciplined winning effort against Nepal and their pacers will be key in New York if they are to dismantle their favourite opponents.
South Africa
South Africa thrashed Sri Lanka in their World Cup opener skittling the opposition for just 77 runs on an even New York pitch. Their pacers shined and once again, the team will be banking on them to click against their ICC event nemesis Netherlands. At the same time, the Proteas batters will have to show off their skills against the opposition pacers in testing conditions.
