The Netherlands will square off against South Africa in the 16th match of the ongoing T20 World Cup at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York on Saturday. The Dutch have stunned South Africa in the last two encounters of the T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup.
Both of these teams registered a six-wicket win in their opening clash of the tournament. South Africa came up with a brilliant bowling rendition in the last match as they skittled out Sri Lanka for a paltry score of 77 runs. Anrich Nortje, who was not in the best of forms in the IPL, bowled a terrific spell of 4-7 against the Lankans.
On the other hand, Tim Pringle bagged 3-20 against Nepal for the Netherlands and played a key role in skittling out the opposition at 106.
