South Africa vs Netherlands T20 World Cup Super 12 match preview: Betting odds, fantasy picks and where to watch live

Despite the hiccup against Pakistan, South Africa has emerged as the team to beat in this World Cup. The Proteas' biggest strength is the form of its fast bowlers. In each of their last three matches of this campaign, at least one fast bowler has picked a 4-wicket haul. Anrich Nortje has claimed 4 wickets against Bangladesh and Pakistan, while Lungi Ngidi claimed 4 scalps versus India. Wayne Parnell with his left-arm fast bowling has acted as a second fiddle to Nortje and Ngidi. The form of the three pacers has ensured that Kagiso Rabada's struggles to claim regular wickets in this tournament has not become a hindrance. The spin duo of Keshav Maharaj and Tabriz Shamsi have delivered whenever they have been asked to step up. South Africa would hope that David Miller is fit for this contest. Miller was left out from the playing XI against Pakistan as a precaution after he picked up an injury. Miller's absence was felt by South Africa as their chase against Pakistan went awry without the big-hitting left-handed batsman in the middle. Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram, and Rilley Rossouw have been in good form with the bat in this World Cup.

After a good show in the first-round qualifiers, the Netherlands lost their way in the Super 12 stage and stumbled to defeats against Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. But the Dutch halted their losing streak with a win over Zimbabwe. Opener Max O'Dowd was the star of that win as he hit a fifty. The bowlers also came good against Zimbabwe as  Paul van Meekeren, Brandon Glover, Logan van Beek, and Bas de Leede were all among the wickets. With nothing at stake, the Netherlands should come out all guns blazing and hope for the best result possible against South Africa.
