South Africa vs Netherlands, 2nd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

South Africa and the Netherlands are set to lock horns in the second game of the rescheduled three-match ODI series on Friday, March 31. Willowmoore Park in Benoni will host the contest.

South Africa will go into the series at full strength for obvious reasons. The Proteas, led by Temba Bavuma, need to win their next two games to attain direct qualification for the 2023 ODI World Cup.

The hosts recently lost to the West Indies in a T20I series and may not be high on confidence. However, they will fancy their chances against the Dutch team, who isn’t in the greatest of form either.

The Netherlands will be captained by Scott Edwards. The visitors recently lost their ODI series against Zimbabwe 1-2 after initially taking a 1-0 lead. Teja Nidamanuru is in decent form after he scored a hundred in the opening ODI of the series.

Max O’Dowd has been a consistent performer for the Dutch unit for quite some time now. Tom Cooper and Wesley Barresi bring in a lot of experience, while Paul van Meekeren and Fred Klaasen should lead the bowling attack.
