South Africa won the toss and chose to bowl first in their Cricket World Cup match against the Netherlands in Dharamsala on Tuesday.

The toss was initially delayed for an hour due to rain. However, minutes before the 11.30am SA time start, the rain returned for a third time. As the rain finally lifted, play was scheduled to start at 12.30pm SA time in a 43-overs per side contest.

As skipper Temba Bavuma called correctly at the toss, the Proteas made one change to their team, with fast bowler Gerald Coetzee replacing spinner Tabraiz Shamsi.

For the Netherlands, Logan van Beek is back as he replaces Ryan Klein.
