SA vs NED ODI Head To Head Stats and Record: Confident South Africa take on Netherlands in match 15 of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamsala on Tuesday (October 17).
Temba Bavuma-led South Africa have made a perfect start to the show-piece tournament, having won two in two, while Netherlands led by Scott Edwards, are yet to win in their two outings at the ODI World Cup 2023 in India.

Although they have started with two wins, South Africa will be wary of the Dutch, who dented their chances of a semifinal spot in last year’s T20 World Cup with an upset result in Australia.
The Proteas, however, will take confidence from their record against Netherlands in the limited number of matches, including the World Cup, in ODI format. This will be their first meeting at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala, where neither side has played in an ODI match so far.
Now, ahead of the SA vs NED World Cup 2023 match we take a look at their ODI head to head record, stats as well as both South Africa and Netherlands’ record in the ODI World Cup over the years.
In the 7 meetings between the two sides in ODI format so far, South Africa have won on all seven occasions, including the two-match home series last year, with 1 match ending in No Result. Here is a look at the South Africa vs Netherlands head to head stats and top performances:

In Dharamsala at the HPCA Stadium, South Africa and Netherlands have never met, and two side have never played at the venue in ODI format earlier. However, they have locked horns once in India at the PCA Stadium in Mohali, where South Africa secured a huge margin win in 2011.
