THE PREDICTION
The delayed conclusion to this three-match ODI series, which currently remains scoreless is absolutely pivotal from a South African point of view. Failure to win these two ODIs against Netherlands would see them in huge danger of failing to qualify for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup automatically. With that in mind, their strongest possible squad has been selected despite the imminent start of the 2023 IPL, which features many top South African players. Netherlands stunned everyone in last year’s T20 World Cup when they defeated the Proteas, so underestimating them would be a big mistake. However, it will be significantly tougher for them to pull off a shock result in the longer 50-over format. Factor in the strength of the Proteas squad along with home advantage being in their favour and the sensible move here would be to back a South Africa victory.
