T20 World Cup Women: South Africa vs Netherlands Match Preview Odds & Predictions
South Africa will lock horns against the Netherlands in the T20 World Cup on Thursday. The Netherlands have lost their last five games, while South Africa have won three times in theirs. Who will win? Below are the preview and expert pick.
South Africa Preview
South Africa secured a lead in their last game against India, winning by six wickets and extending their winning streak to two games. In this outing, they had a bad start, losing two early wickets for 25 runs. Marizanne Kapp and Tazmin Brits played their first match of the World Cup, securing their spot and making the score more secure as they put on 97 runs for the 3rd wicket. South Africa are now back to winning ways after losing the first game of the World Cup to Australia. They have now won their last two games against Pakistan and India. They currently sit 4th in Group 1, standing with four points from three games.
South Africa XI
Sune Luus, Laura Wolvaardt (c), Annerie Dercksen, Nadine de Klerk, Marizanne Kapp, Chloe Tryon, Kayla Reyneke, Sinalo Jafta (wk), Shabnim Isamail, Ayabonga Khaka, and Nonkululeko Mlaba.
Netherlands Preview
The Netherlands have been disappointing in the World Cup, suffering defeats in their last three games, including a 6-wicket defeat to Bangladesh, a 95-run loss to India, and a 98-run loss to Australia. The Netherlands has displayed a vulnerability that every team has taken advantage of since the start of the World Cup. I don’t think they can meet the criteria to qualify for the semi-final playoffs, as they have struggled to win in their last three games. They currently sit 5th in Group 1, standing with zero points from three games.
Netherlands XI
Georgia Voll, Beth Mooney(w), Ellyse Perry, Grace Harris, Georgia Wareham, Annabel Sutherland, Nicola Carey, Sophie Molineux(c), Alana King, Kim Garth, Megan Schutt.
South Africa vs Netherlands Prediction
South Africa have found their form in their last two games, and they are firing from all cynlinders. Nevertheless, the Netherlands still has a slim chance to make it to the next round. However, the Netherlands are vulnerable and their vulnerability could affect their chances of getting a win in this game. So, I expect this game to see lots of points. My prediction is over 145.5 points with 1xBet offering odds of 1.64.
