Here are top five players to watch out during South Africa vs Netherlands, 15th Match ICC ODI World Cup 2023:

1) Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram made headlines with the fastest century in the opening match against Sri Lanka. He followed up his impressive performance with a quickfire half-century against Australia. Markram’s ability to score at a brisk pace and build pressure on the opposition bowling attack was evident in these matches. He is expected to play a crucial role in the middle overs, providing impetus to South Africa’s innings and making life difficult for the Netherlands bowlers.

2) Bas de Leede

Bas de Leede faced a challenging match against New Zealand, struggling both with the bat and the ball. He went for 64 runs in his 10 overs while picking up a solitary wicket. Despite his struggles, he has shown promise with his positive intent. He aims for an all-round effort similar to his performance against Pakistan. A repeat of his all-round contribution could help the Netherlands upset South Africa and secure their first win of the tournament.

3) Quinton de Kock

Quinton de Kock has been in splendid form, achieving his second successive century against Australia in Lucknow. He played aggressively, pressuring the Australian pacers and maintaining momentum for South Africa. De Kock will look to continue his exceptional form in the upcoming match, particularly during the initial 10 overs. If De Kock sustains his superb form, South Africa could secure their third consecutive win in the tournament.

4) Colin Ackermann

Colin Ackermann displayed a decent performance in the previous match against New Zealand. Despite the Netherlands losing an early wicket, Ackermann showed intent and kept the scoreboard ticking. His role revolves around providing stability, especially if one of the openers fails to provide a strong start. It will be intriguing to observe if Ackermann can score runs against South Africa’s high-quality bowling and potentially make a significant impact with his batting.

5) Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada had an outstanding outing in the previous match against Australia. He bowled with aggression and created difficulties for the Australian openers. His exceptional pace and accuracy resulted in a dream spell, which significantly influenced the outcome of the match. His pace and ability to trouble the Netherlands openers with the new ball could contribute to South Africa’s pursuit of their third consecutive victory in the tournament.
