Two end-of-season one-day international matches between South Africa and the Netherlands would not normally attract much attention -- but the games this weekend are crucial for the Proteas. | Sport24news
They need to win both World Cup Super League matches to have a realistic chance of booking their place in world cricket's showpiece.
Now, with South African days becoming shorter and the chill of autumn starting to bite, the Netherlands will take on a full-strength home team with several of their own best players unavailable. South African-born Colin Ackermann, who was man of the match in the upset in Adelaide, has English county commitments as have Brandon Glover and Bas de Leede. Roelof van der Merwe was a late withdrawal and Logan van Beek is in New Zealand.
The Netherlands were beaten 2-1 in a one-day series in Zimbabwe before arriving in South Africa and lost to a South African invitational team in a warm-up game in Pretoria on Tuesday.
