Women’s T20 World Cup 2026: Match 24, SA W vs NED W Match Prediction

South Africa Women take on the Netherlands Women in match No. 24 of the ongoing 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. This match will be hosted at the County Ground in Bristol on Thursday, June 25.

India will be hoping for a favour from the Netherlands. If the Dutch side can upset the South Africans, it would put the Women in Blue in the driver’s seat to make it to the semi-final. However, the Proteas will be high on confidence, having won two out of the three games they have played so far, and a win on Thursday will help them put one foot in the knockouts.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands’ maiden Women’s T20 World Cup campaign has been a learning experience. They have already been eliminated, having lost all three games they have played so far. Babete de Leede and Co. will look to test themselves against one of the favourites to lift the title.

County Ground Bristol Pitch Report for SA-W vs NED-W

SA-W vs NED-W Head-to-Head Record

This is the first Women’s T20I meeting between South Africa and Netherlands at a World Cup. Netherlands are making their maiden appearance at the top table in 2026, so there is no meaningful prior head-to-head at this level to draw on.

South Africa’s pedigree and depth make them heavy favourites, but Netherlands have shown across three games they will not simply roll over at a World Cup.

SA W vs NED W Predicted Playing XIs

South Africa Women (SA W):

Laura Wolvaardt (C), Tazmin Brits, Annerie Dercksen, Nadine de Klerk, Marizanne Kapp, Chloe Tryon, Dane van Niekerk, Sinalo Jafta (WK), Shabnim Ismail, Ayabonga Khaka, Nonkululeko Mlaba.

SA-W vs NED-W Win Probability & Match Odds

South Africa arrive on the back of two wins, including Marizanne Kapp’s 81* off 45 against India, one of the great T20 World Cup chasing knocks. Their bowling, led by recalled veteran Shabnim Ismail and Kapp, is one of the most experienced attacks in this competition.

Netherlands have lost all three matches but by narrowing margins, nearly beating Bangladesh, posting 139 against Australia, with de Leede scoring a fifty in two of three innings. They are improving with every game.

Win probability: South Africa Women 80% — Netherlands Women 20%

That 20% is not nothing. De Leede’s batting, Zwilling’s three wickets against Australia, and Bristol’s seam conditions mean the Dutch can cause damage early. If SA’s powerplay misfires, this match stays open.
