The pitch of the Nassau County International cricket stadium has brought several crticism for the uneven bounce, and movements. For the batters the field is not favourable since no one has gone past 100 at this venue in four innings played so far. However, for the bowlers, the pitch proved to be good.
Given the package of talent in the South Africa squad boast, they are the favourites to win the game. Netherlands may have improved massively over the last decade, but they are still struggling to find shining moments in the deep sea filled with bigger fishes.
