South Africa won the toss and opted to bowl against the Netherlands in their Cricket World Cup encounter at the HPCA Stadium on Tuesday.

The game was delayed by an hour due to rain, but it is still a 50-over affair, with temperatures of 16 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit).

South Africa has won both of its opening games against Sri Lanka and Australia, while the Netherlands has been defeated by Pakistan and New Zealand.

The Proteas made one change, with fast bowler Gerald Coetzee replacing leg-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi, and Logan van Beek returning from injury to replace fellow seamer Ryan Klein.

Teams:

South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (capt), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Gerald Coetzee, Lungi Ngidi

Netherlands: Vikramjit Singh, Max O’Dowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (capt/wk), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren
