Netherlands is doing really well. From the current situation of the game, it can be said that South Africa is performing very badly. South Africa's first five batting very well. But already South Africa lost 4 wickets with 44 runs in 11 overs. This is indeed good news for the Netherlands. Netherlands can really win this match. According to the predictor, the Netherlands is 66% and South Africa is 34%. In the face of this situation, South Africa has to play without losing a wicket. Although now it is understood that mistrust like England vs Afghanistan can win. Good luck to the Netherlands today.

South Africa  vs  Netherlands
---Snip----
What a remarkable comeback from the Netherlands batters and credit goes to skipper Scott Edwards for his brilliant inningof 78 runs. Netherlands batting performance was amazing scored 245 runs in loss of 8 wickets in 43 Overs Match. An Impressive stuff from Netherlands Netherlands' in first 34 overs score 141 runs in loss of 7 wickets and Their last nine overs score 104 runs in loss only 1 wickets. Scott Edwards shines for Netherlands amazing inning of 78 runs unbeaten in just 69 balls.

South Africa bowlers Marco Jansen bowling performance outstanding picked up 2 Crusial wickets by giving 28 runs inn8 Overs, Lungi Ngidi also two wickets in the first innings. An expensive last over 16 runs disturbs Kagiso Rabada figures 2 wickets by giving 56 runs in 9 Overs. He bowled brilliantly against Netherlands in the first 8 overs. Outstanding fifty from Scott Edwards has helped Netherlands to post a respectable total 246 runs on board. Netherlands An incredible fightback. South Africa are in top form but you never know if Netherlands gets early wickets then they have very good chances to win this match.

Finally, the innings of Netherlands stopped at 245 runs. Do you think Netherlands scored 245 runs in 50 overs not at all Netherlands scored 245 runs in just 43 overs. 

The match between Netherlands vs South Africa was stopped for some time due to rain due to which the 50 overs match was decided to 43 overs due to the scheduled time of play. The Dutch batting really surprised me a lot towards the end.  The way the Netherlands finished it never felt like it was the Netherlands' first World Cup. 

Netherlands' run rate was close to 4 till 25 overs and then they lost five wickets from where they ended the innings with a run rate of around 6. Looking at the late game of the Netherlands, it seemed that the Netherlands would be the second team to cause an accident like Afghanistan in this World Cup. 

The batsmen have batted well and the Dutch bowlers will be able to put up a good fight with this run. Power Play Netherlands bowlers need to pick up just three wickets and then the steering of the match will be in the hands of Netherlands.

Outstanding fightback by the Dutch team! Their determination is impressive.
In the first 34 overs, they were at 141/7, but in the last 9 overs, they managed to score 104/1.
It's a significant recovery, while poor bowling by Proteas. Netherlands have posted a substantial score against South Africa. Now, South Africa needs 245 runs from 43 overs. Proteas' bowlers struggled in the death overs, at the same time giving away too many extras. If Netherlands bowler can grab 2 or 3 early wickets, we might witness another upset tonight!

Looks like South Africa is all set to decimate Netherlands as expected. None of the Dutch batsmen played particularly well thanks to some great bowling by Rabada, Jansen and the rest too.

My guess is that they might end up scoring something close to 180 which South Africa will chase down in 25 overs easily.

The Netherlands team played very well. They did very well in scoring against the big team in South Africa. I think that the Netherlands has a fighting total with South Africa. Also remember that in the previous World Cup, the Netherlands also didn’t play well in the whole World Cup but against South Africa, they played very well. I hope that the result of this match will be the same as it was in the previous World Cup.

The Netherlands scored 245 runs and now if the Netherlands wants to win this match so they should do hard work in fielding and good bowling.

The Netherlands try their best and I hope the result will be good for the Netherlands.

South Africa performed quite well this season managing to get several wins in previous matches plus SA has Rabada Jansen who always play well and have helped SA to win.
Even though the Netherlands is a quite strong team when faced with SA they seemed to have difficulty creating more runs to beat SA.

In this match SA has the upper hand and many fans make SA the favorite which might make profit if they bet on it.

The match is being delayed due to rain. South Africa  won the toss and decided to field. I don't know why they decided to field. Because  in the first two matches they were able to bat first and collect huge. They scored 400+ in the  first match and 300+ in the second match against Australia. And both matches were won by South Africa by 100+ runs. I thought  I might see some great batting from South Africa today. But the South African captain won the toss and decided  to field. The match is delayed due to rain.  Maybe it will start soon. If they win today's match, the South African team  will go to the top of the points table.

The match was supposed to start at 1:30 and now the one and half hours was passed and we didn't see a single ball because of the rain and bad weather conditions . Dharamsala weather is not good today. Right now, the weather in Dharamsala is on 14 degrees. Actually, Dharamsala is a cold and cool weather state in India in Dharamsala the mostly weather is on low pressure that’s why Dharamsala weather is cold and dry. Anyway, this is a cricket post, not a geography study post so we should talk about the cricket match, but the match is not start so we don’t have anything to say about the match.
This match has been started now few hours later due to disturbance of rain. First South Africa won toss and get the benefit of rain they call to Netherlands team first come in pitch start their batting inning. I do not think that Netherlands team comeback in this match and future matches from other teams because at right time, they made just 95 scores after batting 23 overs. Also they lost their main batter like Vikramjit Singh and Bas de Leede earlier. Vikramjit Singh got out by Kagiso Rbada bowler of South Africa team and he made only 2 scores for their team and other one also got out by same bowler after making 2 scores. If Netherlands team continues to perform like this, I do not think they will reach in Semi final or Final match.

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.
Netherlands are now 105 for the loss of 5 wickets. The game was brought to 43 overs due to rain, but the Netherlands were relatively unable to score match-winning runs. Yes your aim is already near me netherlands max score 150-170. Moreover, it seems that the Netherlands will not be able to score more runs today. The Netherlands have already played two matches and lost both. Based on the performance of Netherlands in today's match, it can be said that they will lose to South Africa. Because South Africa can never be defeated with the amount of runs Netherlands are collecting at the moment. To beat South Africa in today's match Netherlands will have to give a big run target which is never possible for Netherlands.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
Netherlands vs South Africa in Today's match, South Africa won the toss and opted to bowl and Netherlands batted. The match was stopped at times due to rain, but the DL system reduced the match to 43 overs. In the first innings, Netherlands batted very poorly, and none of the batsmen were able to form a big partnership. The lack of partnership has reduced the run-rate and the fall of wickets has resulted in the Netherlands being at their most desperate today. But South Africa is putting up a good bowling line-up in the match, the match is going to be interesting especially the bowling of South Africa is really interesting. Netherlands team has lost 5 wickets so far, and scored 102 runs in 24 overs, looking at today's performance, it seems doubtful that Netherlands can reach 200 runs.

The match has started. And the match will be held in 43 overs. There are more advantages for South Africa to win this match.
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.
The Netherlands team has already lost two wickets. The two openers returned to the dressing room. Netherlands managed to collect only 27 runs in 8 overs. At an average of 3.5 runs per over they could not collect. And after losing two experienced batsmen so quickly, the Dutch batsmen are now under pressure.

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.

In the match between South Africa and the Netherlands, SA won the toss and decided to bowl first. SA is going with an extra pacer. There will be help for fast bowlers early on. The conditions are still overcast, and the chances of rain interruption are there. SA is the hot favourite to win this contest until and unless rain plays its part. This would be a big blow for SA if the match washed out. Hopefully, we will see a result in the end.

Update: The rain has returned and the covers are back on. ( ESPN Cricinfo)

I am quite surprised that South Africa dropped Tabraiz Shamsi. He did a very decent job during last match (7.5-0-38-2 against Australia, picking up the wickets of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood). The combination of Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj troubled the Australian batsmen, and they were bowled out for just 177 runs. Therefore it was surprising that they included Gerald Coetzee instead of Shamsi for today's match. BTW, Netherlands has started confidently. They are at 21/0 after 5 overs, with Max O'Dowd hitting the seamers for a few boundaries.

The Netherlands Team will not be happy today as they have played their two games and both of the games were lost by the Netherlands. The first Match was won by Pakistan Team and the Second Match was won by New Zealand Team by 99 runs. This will be a challenging situation for the Netherlands Team to qualify for the upcoming matches.

South Africa has played two matches and won 2 out of 2 matches, the first was against Sri Lanka which they won by 102 runs and the second match was against Australia which was won by 134 runs. As they played well in their previous two matches they played against the two better teams. They are going on 3rd number of the points table while Team Netherlands are on 10(last number of the points table in World Cup 2023.

Let's wait for the rain to stop soon and we will enjoy the match!

Today the number of support towards South Africa match is more because South Africa team is much stronger than Netherlands. South Africa perform well in both batting line and bowling line which is why they are far ahead in the current position. Because the South African team has played two matches so far and won both of them due to which they are third in the points table. And Netherlands team is at the bottom of the points table because they lost both the matches but in today's match also I think Netherlands team will lose. Due to the fact that only the bowling line of the Netherlands team is strong, the batting line cannot perform well.
Well.. I would say this. If the South Africans are not complacent, then there is no chance that the Dutch would win this match. These two teams are diametrically on the opposite sides when it comes to momentum. Netherlands is widely believed to be the weakest team in this tournament. But at the same time, they have avoided heavy defeats so far. And Bas de Leede has performed exceptionally against top opposition. Anyway, fingers crossed for today's match. I am hoping for a decent performance from Netherlands.
South Africa must win today against Netherlands and in today's match South Africa will get full points and move to the top position of the points table for the first time in this world cup tournament. South Africa have a much higher net run rate than India and New Zealand so 2 points will take them to the very top of the points table. Africa have enjoyed easy wins against Sri Lanka and Australia and the match against the Netherlands will be no exception. In today's match, South Africa will ensure a big win against Netherlands and they will get a chance to increase their net run rate in this match. We are going to witness another one-sided match in the World Cup tournament.
The game will be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala today but unfortunately the game may be delayed due to rain. At the moment it has rained on the field, delaying the toss due to rain. But today South Africa and Netherlands will enter the field, we can safely say that today South Africa will win the match against Netherlands. Earlier both the teams played two matches each where South Africa won both the matches but Netherlands failed to win any match. From here we can predict that today South Africa will easily beat Netherlands and win the match. Now we are just waiting for the rain to stop and once the rain stops the toss and the game will start.

The match is being delayed due to rain. South Africa  won the toss and decided to field. Actually I don't know why they decided to field! ! Because you know  in the first two matches they were able to bat first and collect huge. I can see hey scored 400+ in the  first match and 300+ in the second match against Australia, and both matches were won by South Africa by 100+ runs.

Actually I thought  I might see some great batting from South Africa today. But saddest thing is South African captain won the toss and decided  to field. The match is delayed due to rain., maybe it will start soon. If they win today's match, the South African team  will go to the top of the points table.

What the heck is wrong with Sri Lanka. They went from winning positions to losing positions within a short gap since this tournament started. They were 120/0 at one stage and they folded for 209 which is embarassing.
Australia struggled to win which goes to show why they won't win the cup this time. Sri Lanka is almost out of the race too.
Sri Lanka displayed a completely unprofessional game in today's match. Because the opening two batsmen of the top order, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera, no one's performance was as expected. If 7-8 players in a team get out scoring single digits then it becomes very difficult to win that match. The start was good for the Sri Lankan team but from then on their rhythm fell.
Australian team is not an ordinary team who can easily win the match by putting pressure on them. However, Australia has not performed very well in this tournament. But today Australia won the match by 5 wickets. The Australian team may try to turn around from here. The next match will be a battle between Australia and Pakistan on 20 Oct. How much Australia can improve remains to be seen.

The Sri Lankan batsmen's performance was very disappointing. They played very badly. Although the two openers have done well, none of the other batsmen in the squad have done well. My prediction was that Sri Lanka team will be able to score 300+ runs today like last two matches. But they can't do it. If the team would have been able to deliver the 280+ run target in today's match then they would have been able to win this match against Australia. Australia's batsmen were not in good form. Even in today's match, Australian batsmen are not performing very well. However Sri Lanka lost this match due to batting like a fool. Sri Lanka failed to win even one of the three matches. On the other hand, Australia got their first win.
The Sri Lankan batsmen's performance in this match was very poor, right said. The position was very good till the 23rd over when the powerplay ended and from then on Sri Lanka started losing wickets at crucial times. I predicted 320 runs after seeing Sri Lanka's runs. Since my prediction, Sri Lanka lost quick wickets to give Australia a target of just 209 runs. Australia's batting performance today was similar to the previous two matches, but Sri Lanka's target of 209 for 5 was met in this match. Yes, Australia's performance this season has not been very good but today's win in this match helped Australia to move up to number 8 in the points table. I have already predicted that Australia will beat Sri Lanka to win this match
Before the start of match, Australia against Sri Lanka I already selected Australia team they will win this match. But when match started, Sri Lanka came in the pictch for showing batting inning performance then I see openers batsman performance, I began to have doubt. Sri Lanka will win this match. But when Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka dual combination broke, no other next batsman could replace their spot. Their wickets frequently down one by one like a water flowing and entire squad finished at 209 score target. Australia team also faced some problems in starting of batting inning David Warner and Steve Smith both got out very poorly just made 11 score and 0. However, next players secure their victory and at last they won this match from Sri Lanka team by 5 wickets and 88 balls were also for play.
