Match number 16 of the T20 World Cup 2024 will see action from Group D where South Africa will lock horns with the Netherlands at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Saturday (June 8).
If there is a team that has troubled the Proteas in ICC events in the recent past it has been Netherlands. They got the better of South Africa in the last T20 World Cup and followed that up with another win in the ODI World Cup last year.
If the Dutch get over the line against the Proteas in New York it will be their third consecutive win in major ICC events.
Both teams are coming off a win in their last match. South Africa defeated Sri Lanka to start their campaign with an easy win.
After being asked to bowl first, thanks to a fiery spell from Anrich Nortje, the Proteas bowled out Sri Lanka for just 77 runs in 19.1 overs.
It was a struggle for the Lankan Lions on a tacky pitch to get going. Kusal Mendis was their top-scorer with a knock of 19 off 30 balls.
Apart from Nortje, Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada picked up two wickets each.
In reply, South Africa despite losing Reeza Hendricks early in the chase got over the line with six wickets and more than 3 overs to spare. Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller steered their side over the finish line.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, got their campaign off to a winning start as they defeated Nepal by six wickets.
After opting to bowl, the Dutch side bowled out Nepal for 106 in 19.2 overs. Tim Pringle, Logan van Beek picked up three wickets apiece while Paul van Meekeren and Bas de Leede got two wickets each.
In response, Netherlands lost Michael Levitt in the second over. However, Max O'Dowd scored an unbeaten half-century. Vikramjit Singh and Sybrand Engelbrecht supported him well with knocks of 22 and 14 respectively.
Bas de Leede helped O'Dowd by holding one end as the Netherlands got over the line in 18.4 overs.
