Fast bowlers Anrich Nortje and Sisanda Magala have been ruled out of the Cricket World Cup due to injuries.
Nortje has a back injury sustained in the recent ODI series against Australia.
Magala, who was in the squad as a backup, has a knee injury.
They have been replaced by Andile Phehlukwayo and Lizaad Williams for the tournament.
There is no any recent injury updates for the Netherlands cricket team.
Analyzing all the available data points, it’s clear that South Africa maintains a strong position going into the match on October 17 against the Netherlands. South Africaβs superior track record, the presence of key players like Aiden Markram and Kagiso Rabada, and their recent performance all contribute to their stronger standing. Despite some injuries in the South African camp, replacements Andile Phehlukwayo and Lizaad Williams bring new energy and possibilities.
The Netherlands has potential, as shown by their surprising win in the 2022 T20 World Cup, but their inconsistent performance in recent matches casts a shadow over their prospects.
Therefore, based on the current data and analysis, South Africa is predicted to win the match against the Netherlands on October 17.
