Match 45 of the T20 World Cup 2024 promises to be an exciting encounter as England (ENG) and South Africa (SA) are set to face off in the Group 2 Super 8 clash. The two are scheduled to meet at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia, on Friday (June 21).

England did not have a great start to their tournament—winning two out of four league matches—but they somehow managed to make it to the Super 8 stage. However, an eight-wicket thrashing of hosts West Indies in the opener ensured the defending champions would not start the second round on the back foot.

Player Picks

6.5
C

Philip Salt ENG | WK

A Phili Salt assault in the Super 8 saw West Indies crushed by eight wickets. The England opener scored an unbeaten 47 off 87 with seven fours and five sixes. Salt is likely to continue his good form as the upcoming match will be held at the same venue.

8.5
C

Quinton de Kock SA | WK

Quinton de Kock had a dull start to his World Cup campaign, but the tables turned once he entered the Super 8 stage. The keeper-batter was adjudged Player of the Match against the USA for scoring 74 off 40 balls.

9
C

Jos Buttler ENG | WK

Jos Buttler has played a couple of impactful knocks in the tournament so far. The skipper is expected to lead the team from the front in the crucial phase.

9

David Miller SA | BAT

David Miller proved in the match against the Netherlands that he can be there when the team is in trouble. The southpaw steered SA to victory with an unbeaten 59 out of misery. He is a key player for the Proteas.

7.5

Adil Rashid ENG | BOWL

Adil Rashid did not have a great outing so far, but he was impressive in the last match against Windies. The right-arm leg-spinner picked up a wicket at an economy of just 5.20.

9

Kagiso Rabada SA | BOWL

Kagiso Rabada is the backbone of South Africa's pace attack. The right-arm fast bowler has taken seven wickets so far in the series, including a three-wicket haul in the previous match against the USA.

6.5

Harry Brook ENG | BAT

Harry Brook was instrumental in England's win as he scored an unbeaten 47 off just 20 balls. The right-hander is the main force in their middle order, scoring runs aggressively.

9

Heinrich Klaasen SA | WK

Apart from playing a few cameo roles, Heinrich Klaasen hasn't produced an impressive innings yet in this tournament. The big hitter is expected to unleash his beast mode in the coming crucial matches.

9

Anrich Nortje SA | BOWL

Anrich Nortje is currently the second-best bowler in the series with 10 wickets in five matches. With the pitch likely to assist the pace bowlers more, Nortje is expected to have an effective outing in St Lucia.

Reeza Hendricks

SA | BAT
