South Africa are heavy favourites to extend their unbeaten start to the World Cup as they take on the Netherlands in Dharamshala.

The Proteas are quickly turning from being the under-rated team that’s flying under the radar, to being considered out-and-out contenders to take home the World Cup.

In particular, their top-six is considered to be one of the most powerful in all of cricket and it could be a long night for the Netherlands bowling unit.

In South Africa’s opening match of the competition against Sri Lanka, they posted the highest ever World Cup total of 428 before they thrashed Australia by 134 runs in their second fixture.

The Netherlands performed admirably in their two defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand, and could well claim a couple of wins before the tournament ends. However, it’d be an almighty upset if they managed to turn over South Africa, whose promising start to the tournament will more than likely continue on Tuesday.
