South Africa and Netherlands will face each other in the shortest format after eight and a half years in their last ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Super 12 match in Adelaide tomorrow.

The first 10:30 AM (local time) start in this World Cup will only be the second South Africa-Netherlands T20I in the history of this format. The first such instance was registered during ICC World Twenty20 2014 in Chattogram. Although won by South Africa, a close encounter had witnessed Netherlands scoring 139 in 18.4 overs while chasing a 146-run target.
Fast forward to the present, South Africa need to beat Netherlands for the second time in a row in order to qualify for the semi-finals. Readers must note that a South African loss will eliminate them from the tournament as one out of Pakistan or Bangladesh is bound to have more points than them in such a scenario.
