It is pretty much a given that South Africa will easily defeat the Netherlands. The main question is what will be the margin of victory for the Proteas and how much they will be able to boost their net run-rate in this process. Having lost their match against Sri Lanka, it is likely that run-rate will come into the picture in deciding whether South Africa proceeds to the knock-out stage of the tournament or not. They are currently third behind New Zealand in the points table, and they will be looking to change that in this match.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricmetric.com\/game.py?matchID=2014_T20_36\" title=\"England vs Sri Lanka, World T20 2014\" target=\"_blank\">England vs Sri Lanka<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><b>Prediction<\/b>: Sri Lanka (55%) predicted to defeat England (45%)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>England were unlucky to lose their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricmetric.com\/game.py?matchID=2014_T20_30\" title=\"England vs New Zealand, World T20 2014\" target=\"_blank\">previous match against New Zealand<\/a>, despite setting a substantial target of 172 runs in the first innings. They are unlikely to find any respite in their next match against Sri Lanka, however. The Sri Lankan team has just too much firepower, and Bangladesh is almost like a home ground for them. Expect the Sri Lankan spinners to give a tough time to English batsmen. We predict a Sri Lankan victory in this match.<\/p>\n<p><b>Cricmetric&#8217;s current prediction score<\/b>: 5\/8 (62.5%)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Africa vs Netherlands Prediction: South Africa (67%) expected to beat Netherlands (33%) comfortably The main question going into this match is not who will win the match.
