Topmost Picks for SA vs NED Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – South Africa

• Quinton de Kock – The keeper-batter hit 12 fours and three sixes at the top of the order against Sri Lanka. He has performed at the top level for the past ten years and he will relish this clash against Netherlands in Lucknow.
• Marco Jansen – Marco Jansen looks in good form with the bat and ball. He smashed a six and remained not-out and then he picked 2 wickets with the ball but went little expensive

Top Picks – Netherlands

• Vikramjit Singh- the 20 year old opening batter looks set for an impressive Cricket World Cup. The left-hander produced 52 runs from 67 balls at the top of the order against a very strong Pakistan bowling unit.
• Bas de Leede- the young all-rounder was not far off producing a Player of the Match Performance against Pakistan. He took 4-62 with the ball before his strong batting effort and he will be keen to take the field once more.

SA vs NED Probable Winners

With South Africa playing brilliant cricket in this format in recent weeks and the Netherlands a few levels below the top sides in this tournament, this game appears to be a mismatch. South Africa is a legitimate contender for the Cricket World Cup trophy in 2023, and we don’t expect the Netherlands to cause them too many problems. There may be moments with the openers when the Netherlands look impressive, but they lack depth in their team. Our prediction is that South Africa will win big. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.
