Both the previous matches at this venue were won by the chasing team so we anticipate the toss winner to choose bowling first.
NED vs SA Pitch Report
Bowlers are certainly having a good time at this surface. The drop-in pitch is taking its time to settle down well and there is a lot of ball movement which is making batting a difficult task on this pitch. After two matches and four innings, we are yet to see a 100+ total score. Both pacers and spinners are able to pick wickets and batters need to settle themselves well before going for big shots. The par score will be around 130.
New York Weather Report
The weather report shows a partly cloudy day in New York on Saturday. The temperature is expected to hover around 24-26°C.

- Logan van Beek – Van Beek picked 3 wickets in the last match and showed his form. He has taken his tally to 32 wickets in 27 T20Is at an average of 18.41. We are expecting more wickets from his pace skills on this pitch.

SA Key Players
- Aiden Markram – Markram has a strike rate of 149 and an average of 37.67 in the T20Is. He scored 12 runs in the last game but we back him to play a responsible knock in this match as batting is difficult on this track.
- Heinrich Klaasen – Klaasen has been in terrific form in the past months including IPL 2024. He remained not out at 19 in the last match and we back him to score more in this match. He has a strike rate of 145 in the T20 internationals.
- Ottneil Baartman – Baartman received international call after his brilliant performance at the SA20 2024 edition. He is grabbing the opportunity with both hands and started off with 1/9 in 4 overs against Sri Lanka.
- Anrich Nortje – Nortje is proving to be lethal at this venue. He was unplayable for the Lankan batters in the last match and finished with figures of 4/7. He will be a tough opponent to face for the Dutch batters.

Netherlands vs South Africa Betting Odds
South Africa is one of the top T20 teams in international cricket. They are at the 7th spot in the ICC T20I team rankings while Netherlands are at the 15th number. Both the teams have won their first matches but South Africa’s bowling attack looked quite dangerous with some of the top pacers. Bookmakers are backing South Africa with odds at 1.09.
Who will win Netherlands vs South Africa Match?
South Africa looks in good form with the ball and that is what they require to win matches at this venue. In the last match at this venue, they restricted Sri Lanka at just 77 runs. Netherlands are yet to play their first game at this ground and they will feel the heat from the Proteas bowling attack. We back South Africa to win this match.
🏆 Netherlands vs South Africa Prediction
South Africa is looking to avenge not just one but two matches against the Netherlands. After facing defeat from Netherlands in the T20 World Cup 2022, Proteas had to face another humiliating defeat against Netherlands in the ODI World Cup 2023.
This time South Africa certainly has the upper-hand with a strong bowling attack which can be lethal on this ground and the batters will be more responsible than the last outing here. Netherlands also won the first match and they will be confident but defeating South Africa will not be easy this time.
