The all-important South Africa vs Netherlands match will take place on Sunday morning in the T20 World Cup 2022. It is a do-or-die match for the Proteas. If they lose against the Dutch tomorrow, they will be knocked out of the mega event.
The Netherlands have already been eliminated from the race to the semifinals. They now have a chance to spoil South Africa's party. Even if the match gets abandoned due to rain, the Proteas will likely miss out on a spot in the semifinals.
The rules of T20 World Cup 2022 are such that if two teams have the same number of points in the table, the team with the most wins progresses first. If the number of wins are the same, then the net run rate is considered.
The Proteas have a superior net run rate than Bangladesh and Pakistan, but if they earn only one point from the match against the Netherlands, and the Pakistan vs. Bangladesh match produces a winner then South Africa will have to return home early.
