Netherlands openers are batting cautiously. They managed to score 21 runs in 5 overs without losing any wicket. I think Netherlands' target in this match is to give Descent a target to make the match competitive. With a weak and inexperienced squad as Netherlands know well, South Africa cannot be beaten now. Because South Africa are now at the peak of form. South Africa will maintain consistency in today's match if no miracle happens. And will win by a big margin. It will be difficult for the Netherlands batsmen to collect 200 runs against the South African bowlers.
We saw very good bowling from the South African bowlers against Australia. The target of 312 runs was given by the South African team. On the other hand, Australian batsmen managed to collect only 177 runs. I don't think Netherlands batsmen will collect big against South Africa today. It is very difficult for Netherlands to collect 200 runs.
The way Netherlands are batting, the team will probably be able to provide a target of 120-140. I knew the Netherlands were a weak team. But even then I thought I would see some more responsible batting from them. But as usual they continued to perform poorly. The first 4 batsmen of the top order have returned to the dressing room. The team lost their fourth batsman for 50 runs. Sybrand and Nidamanuru are batting now. I don't expect these two batsmen to play very well. I think the team will lose all the wickets before 150. And if the target is below 150 then there is a strong possibility that South Africa will reach the target within 20 overs of today's match.
