South Africa won the toss and chose to bowl first in their key one-day international match against the Netherlands at Willowmoore Park in Benoni on Friday.
This is a two-match series that is crucial for South Africa if they want to qualify for the World Cup in India in October and November. Otherwise they may be forced to pre-qualify in Zimbabwe in June.
But with plenty of rain forecast it is likely Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma is hoping that his gun bowling attack, featuring the returning Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje who were rested for the West Indies ODI series, can bowl the visitors out cheaply and that they can chase the score down before the scheduled rain takes hold.
