NED vs SA Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicket-keeper
Quinton de Kock
Quinton de Kock is no doubt the best wicket-keeper pick for today's match. He smashed only 20 runs in the last match, but is expected to perform well in today's match against the less experienced Netherlands bowlers. Heinrich Klaasen is another good wicket-keeper pick, especially if South Africa bats first.
Batters
Reeza Hendricks
Max O'Dowd and Reeza Hendricks are the two best batter picks for today's Dream11 team. Reeza Hendricks will open the innings and is expected to perform well. Tristan Stubbs is another good option for today's match.
All-rounders
Bas de Leede
Logan van Beek and Bas de Leede are the best all-rounder picks for the Dream11 team. Bas de Leede smashed 11 runs and took 2 wickets in the last match against Nepal. Aiden Markram is another good all-rounder option for today's match.
Bowlers
Anrich Nortje
The top bowler picks for today's Dream11 team are Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje. Anrich Nortje took 4 wickets in the last match against Sri Lanka and will again be a crucial option in today's match. Paul van Meekeren is another good bowler for today's match.
NED vs SA match captain and vice-captain choices
Anrich Nortje
Anrich Nortje is in exceptional form and one of the most crucial players for South Africa. Netherlands batters are less experienced and might find it difficult to play against Anrich Nortje just like Nepal batters. He took 4 wickets in the last match and is again expected to shine today.
Quinton de Kock
Quinton de Kock is one of the most experienced players of South Africa who plays both international and franchise cricket. He has an exceptional head-to-head record and can easily play the Netherlands bowlers. The southpaw has smashed 2361 runs in just 84 T20I matches at a strike rate of around 137.
