South Africa's chances of winning were high in this match.
Just like we expect south Africa chased this small traget of 189 without any trouble, after quick dismissal of K.dekock I taught that they will give some difficult time to SouthAfrica but they hasn't. While south Africa chase this target but just losing two wicket and with a great knock by his captain Temba Bavuma who were unbeaten at 90*. Now South Africa take a lead, may be in second match some of his main player be not available because they already being picked in IPL and franchise are waiting for Thier arrival because IPL are about to begin..
Bavuma is getting strong in his performance. Over the recent ODI matches his performance is really exceptional and in the ODI series against West Indies he had an 144 runs, and unable to win the match chasing 335 runs. After the T20 series loss against West Indies, South Africa playing against Netherlands could give them an added experience for the upcoming World Cup. As the expectation South Africa have won the match. Netherlands need to make improvements to score 250+ runs on average.

Bavuma has been able to prove his worth. He is in very good form now. But we have seen Bavuma's poor performance consistently due to not being in form for a long time. Still, the South African management kept faith in Bavuma. And Bavuma has let them down now that he is able to play consistently well. At the same time, South Africa's overall performance is fairly stable. But I doubt if South Africa can perform well against big teams like England and Australia.
The Netherlands team is relatively weak. One should not expect too much performance from this team. They are weak in both batting and bowling line-up. It will be very difficult for the Netherlands to collect more than 250 against a strong bowling line-up like South Africa.
