SA vs NED Live: As per the weather prediction, the rains have stopped in Dharamshala and the match has been reduced to 43 overs. The first powerplay will be of 9 overs and Netherlands openers Vikramjit Singh and Max O’Dowd are expected to begin the innings soon. 

SA vs NED Live: Whenever it rains in a big tournament and South Africa is involved, the team’s pressure increases as their history tells us that most of the times, rains mean bad news for South Africa. As recently as 2022, during the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia, South Africa’s clear progression to the top four was disrupted as rains washed out South Africa vs Zimbabwe match. South Africa was chasing around 80 runs and lost no wicket till 51 runs when the rain gods made their appearance and the match was disrupted. 

In today’s match, in case the game gets washed out, 1 point each will be divided between South Africa and Netherlands and not only it will keep South Africa on the 3rd place of the points table, it will give a chance to Pakistan to trounce them, if they win their next match. 

South Africa playing XI: Quinton de Kock(w), Temba Bavuma(c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Gerald Coetzee

Netherlands playing XI: Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards(w/c), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren

SA vs NED Live: South African opener Quinton de Kock is seen in terrific in the current edition of the ICC Men’s World Cup. He has confirmed that it is his last World Cup and he is surely playing like that as he smashed centuries in his first two matches. In case he slams another 100 today against Netherlands, he will join former Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara and Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who are earlier scored century hat-tricks in ICC World Cup.

SA vs NED Live: The chances of the game starting soon are less as the intensity of rains is rising and players are back to the relax mode. Earlier, when rains stopped for a while, the South African and Netherlands came on the grounds for the toss. South African skipper Temba Bavuma won the toss and opted to bowl. 

As per weather forecast, the skies are expected to remain clear after 4:00 PM and as the time passes, the probability of the SA vs NED match getting reduced is rising. Let’s hope it’s not a complete washout.
