South Africa and Netherlands will face off in the third-last game of the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 in Adelaide on Sunday.
South Africa is placed second on the points table, while the Netherlands is ranked last.
South Africa won two of their four games, lost one, and had one game abandoned due to rain.
They were defeated by Pakistan by 33 runs while chasing a target of 185. This is a must-win encounter for them, and if it is a washout, they would be eliminated by the result of the Bangladesh-Pakistan match.
On the other hand, Netherlands won one and lost three games. They were ousted from the semi-finals race and will seek to compete aggressively in this one before exiting the tournament.
Given the Group 2 points table, a win for South Africa will send them to the semi-finals
Match Details:
South Africa vs Netherlands, Group 2, Match 40
Venue: Adelaide Oval, Adelaide

SA vs NED Pitch report
The surface at Adelaide Oval is batting-friendly, with batter assistance offered throughout the game. It is recognized as one of the most batter-friendly pitches in Australia. Bowlers who apply themselves to good line and length may have a say, especially early in the innings. Because the straight boundaries are so long, the batters would struggle to clear them. However, given the track, expect another run-fest here.
SA vs NED Weather report
The temperature is expected to hover around 17°C on the matchday with 54% humidity and 14 km/hr wind speed. There are no chances of precipitation during the game.
