South Africa vs Netherlands T20 World Cup 2022: Toss result and playing 11s for today's match, umpires list and pitch report
South Africa will take on the Netherlands in their last ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 encounter at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday, November 6. Under normal circumstances, this would be considered a less-pressure clash for the Proteas. But on Sunday, that will not be the case as a place in the semi-finals is at stake.
Had South Africa beaten Pakistan in their previous Super 12 match, their top two finish would have been secure. However, the Proteas could not break their losing jinx against the Asian side in the T20 World Cup. The 33-run loss (D/L method) meant that South Africa remained on five points. They now need to beat the Netherlands to ensure their progress to the semi-finals.
The Dutch may have been eliminated, but they can be proud of the way they have fought. In fact, they will be silently confident of causing an upset after getting the better of Zimbabwe by five wickets with a clinical effort. South Africa need to be wary as the Netherlands will look to bow out of the World Cup on a high.
Today’s SA vs NED toss result

Today's SA vs NED pitch report
According to Shaun Pollock, it’s hard to read too much into the surface. It is very dry and underneath that, there will be a little bit of moisture. The batters will probably enjoy it a bit in the second innings.
