Netherlands vs South Africa, 2024 T20 World Cup: Probable playing 11s, pitch report, weather forecast and live-streaming details
Tonight's (June 8) ICC T20 World Cup match features the Netherlands take on South Africa at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. In the 2022 World Cup, the Dutch upset South Africa for the first time ever in a major tournament. They've now won two in a row against the Proteas, including in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
The Dutch team will be brimming with confidence after their convincing win over Nepal in the tournament opener. Max O'Dowd's unbeaten knock of 54 played a pivotal role in their victory.
The Proteas, led by a red-hot Anrich Nortje who scalped four wickets in their opening match against Sri Lanka, will be looking to continue their winning momentum.

Netherlands vs South Africa Pitch Report
Just like the previous matches played at the Nassau County ground, the pitch is expected to be bowler-friendly. Swing bowling and assistance for spinners are likely from the outset, making high-scoring affairs improbable.
While the first two games (SA vs SL, IND vs IRE) here were extremely hard for the batters, the recently concluded Canada vs Ireland match instilled some hope. After ICC vowed to make the conditions better for more decent matches, all eyes will be on the drop-in Nassau pitch.
Netherlands vs South Africa Weather Forecast
The weather forecast predicts clear skies with temperatures ranging from 21 to 25 degrees Celsius. With the match played in the afternoon, dew shouldn't be a significant factor. There are almost zero chances of rain as well.
