SA vs NED ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023
South Africa and the Netherlands are the competitors in Match 15 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup on Tuesday in Dharamsala. Read on as we preview this game. With convincing wins against Sri Lanka and Australia so far in the tournament, it has been an excellent start for South Africa. The opposite is true for the Netherlands who have been beaten by Pakistan by 81 runs and New Zealand by 99 runs from their first two games. Read on as we preview this group stage clash. The day-night fixture gets underway at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium at 14:00 local time.
South Africa are playing some brilliant cricket and have a team full of match-winners with both bat and ball. They were ruthless against Australia, particularly with the ball and we expect them to have no problems against this team from the Netherlands.
Netherlands came into this tournament hoping to maybe cause an upset or two but so far in the campaign they have been unable to do so. This is likely to be their toughest contest of the competition and we do not hold out much hope for them in Dharamsala.

SA vs NED Match Toss Prediction
Although England won the last ODI at this venue batting first, three of the last four and four of the last six have been won by the team who have fielded first. We predict that both captains will want to field first ahead of this game.
SA vs NED Pitch Report
We saw over 590 runs at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in the last game and we expect another good batting wicket with a par first innings score around 350.
If we talk about bowling, England pacers picked 8 wickets in the last match here against Bangladesh. Fast Bowlers can pick wickets with good line and length to restrict teams to a low total or we can see another 300+ score.
Dharamsala Weather Report
The weather forecast is for an afternoon and evening of humid conditions in Dharamsala on Tuesday. There will also be a threat of thunderstorms throughout the first half of the match.

There was one change announced by Temba Bavuma at the toss ahead of their win over Australia in Lucknow on Thursday with young pace bowler Gerald Coetzee coming out of the side and Tabraiz Shamsi coming in. We expect to see Coetzee again in the World Cup 2023 but not for this game.

- Kagiso Rabada - The right-arm fast bowler has been South Africa’s leader of the attack for many years. He still bowls with pace and accuracy, dismissing Steve Smith, Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis in the last match.
- Marco Jansen - The tall left-arm pace bowling all-rounder has already picked up four wickets in the tournament and added 38 valuable runs with the bat. He is a top player who can influence a game with bat and ball.
- Keshav Maharaj - Keshav Maharaj has been spinning the bowl well and has picked 4 wickets in 2 matches so far. He will be a crucial spin bowler for the Proteas in this match. Maharaj has taken 41 wickets in 33 ODIs so far.

Who will win South Africa vs Netherlands ODI Match?
The Netherlands are a team who are improving every year and do have some solid and experienced players. However, they are up against one of the best teams in the tournament and we have South Africa as the top side for this game.
🏆 South Africa vs Netherlands Prediction
This game looks set to be a bit of a mis-match with South Africa playing brilliant cricket in this format over recent weeks and the Netherlands a few levels below the top sides in this tournament. South Africa are genuine contenders for this 2023 Cricket World Cup trophy and we do not expect the Netherlands to cause them too many problems. There could be moments with the openers when the Netherlands look impressive but they do not have the depth in their team. Our prediction is for a big win for South Africa.
