The SA vs. NED match will be the chance for the Orange brigade to come back from the previous setback. Proteas looks to extend winning streak on Matchday 15 of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
On Matchday 15, South Africa will play against the Netherlands at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala in the fifteenth match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The Proteas have won two games in a row, while the Dutch have yet to win a match in the tournament.
We consider South Africa one of the favorites to win the World Cup this year, and they have so far lived up to the hype. Quinton de Kock, Temba Bavuma, and Rassie van der Dussen lead their batting line-up. Their bowling assault is strong as well, led by Kagiso Rabada, Maharaj, and Tabraiz Shamsi.
The Netherlands are a relatively inexperienced team, but they have shown flashes of brilliance in the tournament.
South Africa is the clear favorite to win this match. The Netherlands is an unpredictable team that will hope to upset the Proteas on Matchday 15.
