The T20 World Cup 2024 gears up to witness the enthralling Group D clash between Netherlands and South Africa at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Thursday.

The Netherlands might have not won the World Cup in their history but they have time and again showed why they are a strong force to reckon with and who’s better than South Africa to know this. In the 2022 T20 WC, Netherlands knocked South Africa out of the tournament. Hence, this is in no way an ‘easy’ clash especially considering their recent rivalry.

Both the teams are coming on the back of two good wins and hence they will give each other tooth and nail in order to come out on top. Let’s take a look at the pitch report for this game. 

Nassau County International Cricket Stadium New York Pitch Report

Looking at the Nassau County Stadium in New York it is of sluggish nature accompanied by a very slow outfield, making it tough for batters to time their boundaries efficiently. 

On the bowling front, pacers who can rapidly hit the deck will benefit the most at this venue. Moreover, swing bowlers will get early seam movement here, thereby troubling the openers a lot.

It is expected that the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first as it will become relatively easier to chase as seen during previous encounters.
