England (ENG) against South Africa (SA) in a high-stakes T20 World Cup 2024 match will take place at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia, on Friday, June 21.
Both sides are coming off victories in their Super Eights stage matches at the prestigious tournament. In their earlier encounter, the Three Lions defeated co-hosts the West Indies by making a farce out of a formidable 181-run goal. The reigning champions easily defeated the West Indies with eight wickets remaining and 15 balls remaining, thanks in large part to Phil Salt’s brilliant 87 not out off 47 balls. This was the West Indies’ first defeat of the season.
To open their Super Eights campaign on a good note, South Africa defeated an optimistic USA team by 18 runs, winning their fifth straight game in the competition. With a remarkable 74 off 40 balls, Quinton de Kock shone out at bat for the Proteas, helping them set a challenging total of 195 for the rookies. The USA was limited to 176/6 despite giving South Africa a serious fright at one point, thanks to the outstanding performance of Kagiso Rabada with the ball, who concluded with figures of 3/18.
