South Africa won the toss and sent the Netherlands in to bat in the second World Cup Super League one-day international at Willowmoore Park in Benoni on Friday.

It was a cool, overcast day with a possibility of rain during the afternoon. South African captain Temba Bavuma said the weather influenced his decision.

Netherlands captain Scott Edwards said his team was "in a good place" despite losing a series in Zimbabwe 2-1.

"Zimbabwe was great preparation. We probably should have won the series," he said.

The match is the second in a three-match series. The first encounter in November 2021 was rained off and the remaining two games were postponed because of a Covid scare.

South Africa are seeking to win both games in order to boost their chances of qualifying directly for the World Cup in India in October and November.

Teams:

Netherlands: Scott Edwards (capt, wk), Max O'Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Musa Ahmad, Wesley Barresi, Teja Nidamanuru, Shariz Ahmad, Aryan Dutt, Ryan Klein, Paul van Meekeren, Fred Klaassen

Umpires: Marais Erasmus, Allahudien Palekar (both RSA)

TV umpire: Adrian Holdstock (RSA)
