The 16th game of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 will see Netherlands and South Africa locking horns against each other. The game is scheduled to be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
This will be the first meeting in T20Is between the two teams since Netherlands’ famous win over South Africa in the last edition of the T20 World Cup two years ago. Last year, Netherlands had also defeated the Proteas in the ODI World Cup and will be fancying their chances of causing an upset again.
Both the teams have started their campaign with a win and will be eyeing another win to bolster their chances of progressing to the Super 8s.
South Africa began their campaign with a 6-wicket win over Sri Lanka. On a treacherous pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, South Africa bowled out Sri Lanka for 77 runs before chasing down the total.
On the other hand, Nepal began their campaign with a six-wicket win over Nepal. The Dutch outfit bowled out Nepal for a modest total of 106 runs and chased down the total by losing four wickets.

NED vs SA Dream11 Prediction Today:
Captaincy picks:
Anrich Nortje:
After a disastrous campaign in this year’s Indian Premier League, Anrich Nortje has hit the ground running in the T20 World Cup. The Proteas star made the most of the conditions in New York in the last game and will be eyeing another good outing at the same venue. In the previous game against Sri Lanka, he had picked up 4 wickets for just 7 runs.
Max O’Dowd:
The onus will be on Max O’Dowd to make sure that South Africa’s in-form pacers do not make early inroads with the ball. O’Dowd is coming into this game on the back of a fine match-winning half-century in the previous game against Nepal and will be eyeing another good display with the bat.
Top picks:
Tim Pringle:
South Africa’s batters are not really known as the best players of spin bowling and Tim Pringle could make a big impact in the game. The left-arm spinner opened the bowling in the last game against Nepal and had a brilliant outing. In four overs, he conceded only 20 runs and picked up 3 wickets.
Quinton de Kock:
Quinton de Kock scored 20 runs against Sri Lanka on a tough pitch in the last game and will be looking to score big in the upcoming game. One of the best openers in the world, the onus will be on him to give his team a solid start with the bat.
