"Even with the weather our spirits are still UP!" - South Africa Cricket

This is immense frustration now. It's drizzling again moments ahead of the start of the play here in Dharamsala. Covers are back on as it seems to be getting heavier at the moment.

"We would have bowled first as well but unfortunately, we cannot change that. There are a few areas where we can fix up. For us, it is to be sticking to the blueprint and adjust to the conditions. We have Logan coming in for Ryan Klein."

"We are gonna have a bowl first. Looking at the overcast conditions, it may swing. It's a small ground so it will be difficult to defend. We have to start off well, be nice and clinical there. I think if we can pick up a few early wickets, we will be able to keep them down to a low total. We can take the confidence, belief is growing among the team. Hopefully, we can keep up the performances. One change - Coetzee comes in for Shamsi."

Temba Bavuma won the toss and opted to bowl first as he justified the reason by pointing out at the overhead conditions for the decision. 

The rain has topped and covers are coming of again.

It has started drizzling again and the covers have been put on again. More frustration for the players and the fans.

The toss will take place at 2pm local time and the game will start at 2:30pm local time.

"We did struggle in the first two games and managed to dig deep. We played good cricket and continued that blueprint. It’s finding confidence within each other, a lot of individuals are doing well at different phases. Two big games and hopefully, the rain stays away. We have spoken about being bold and courageous and we have done that for some time now. The guys at the top are batting beautifully and laying a solid foundation for the middle order. The bowlers are also bowling well."

The toss has been officially delayed. The Rain looks to have stopped but the pitch is still under covers.

It looks like the rain has stopped and the covers are coming off at the moment.

South Africa and the Netherlands have met each other seven times, out of which South Africa have won six times, while one didn't produce any result. The two teams have met thrice at the World Cup, with South Africa winning on all three occasions.

South Africa have been in remarkable form in the tournament so far, having won their first two matches comprehensively. They defeated Sri Lanka in their first match by registering the highest total in the history of the tournament followed by a victory against the five-time champions Australia.

On the other hand, it has been a tough road so far for New Zealand as they remain the only side along with Sri Lanka to haven't tasted a win so far. They lost their first match against Pakistan and ended up on the wrong side in the second game as well against New Zealand. 

The pitch and the squares are currently covered due to some light rain. Due to the recent snowfall in Dharamsala, we could see the team officials and players from both teams wearing jackets as they exited the bus. 

As per the weather report, rain is likely to play spoilsport in the match with showers predicted during the course of the match.
