South Africa, after two dominating 100+ run victories against Sri Lanka and Australia, will be facing the Netherlands, who are still searching for their first win in this ODI World Cup. Dharamsala will be hosting a third match in this 2023 ODI World Cup edition and interestingly, the South Africa team having a solid batting depth in their line-up would look to post another huge total on board. While the Netherlands would look to draw inspiration from the fact that they restricted Pakistan to a total below 300 runs at the Hyderabad venue.
