Cricket World Cup 2023 matchup between South Africa and the Netherlands: Follow Live Updates from Dharamsala

Dutch vs. South Africa Live Score: South Africa, coached by Temba Bavuma, will try to continue their winning streak against Netherlands at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala. The Proteas have won both of their games thus far with resounding victory, making them the side with the highest net run rate (NRR) among the other ten teams. The Netherlands, though, have yet to play and are hoping for a shock like they did in the T20 World Cup last year.

South Africa’s biggest takeaway from both their matches has been their batting. They started the tournament by amassing over 400 runs against Sri Lanka and comfortably breached the 300-run mark against Australia. The bowlers too have made significant contribution, especially in the match against Australia, who could only manage 177 before running out of wickets.

Netherlands will look to take some inspiration from Afghanistan, who stunned defending champions England on Sunday. However, the biggest concern remains the weather forecast for Tuesday, which indicates rainfall in patches at Dharamsala.
