On the other hand, South Africa have continued their dream runs in the T20 World Cup with six wins in the trot including two Super 8 games. They won against USA and England by 18 and seven runs respectively and are perched atop the table. Their semi-final berth will be officially named if they manage to outclass the hosts in Monday’s game.

Surprisingly, West Indies’ bowling has been the show-stopper in the T20 World Cup 2024, with the pacers ruling the outings. Alzarri Joseph in particular has been splendid picking 11 wickets in six games at an average of 13.82. Another contribution in the bowling department has come from Akeal Hosein, as the spinner has managed to pluck nine wickets in six games at an average of 12.22.

With no substantial contribution from other bowlers barring Kagiso Rabada, who has claimed nine wickets, the onus falls upon their top scorer Quinton de Kock to flourish.
