In the 45th match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, defending champions England will face South Africa in Group 2 in the Super 8 round. This is the second Super 8 match between the two teams. Both teams have won their first match. Therefore, both South Africa and England have a golden opportunity to win this match and get a ticket to the semi-finals. Therefore, a tug of war can be seen between the two teams in this match.
England, led by Jos Buttler, won a spectacular victory over West Indies by 8 wickets on 20 June. So in the first match of Super 8, South Africa defeated the United States by 18 runs, thus both the United States and England teams got 2 points. Now England-South Africa would like to secure a place in the semi-finals by getting a second win in the Super 8. So who is the first team to reach the semi-finals? This is curious for cricket lovers.
Performance of both teams in the league round
England won 2 out of 4 matches in the series. While 1 match got cancelled due to rain. So they had to lose one match. That is why South Africa is still invincible. South Africa will win all the matches of the series. Will England be able to stop South Africa’s winning streak? It will be interesting to see.
