England Vs South Africa T20 World Cup Prediction

England Vs South Africa Preview

England have been doing some serious business in this T20 World Cup, and they have set their eyes on the big prize. Their performance speaks for their intent. In a big tournament like the World Cup, every team wants that winning spark that has been a part of the English side since their earlier matches. 

South Africa have been decent with the bat in the last couple of matches, the firepower smoked when they needed it most. KG Rababa showed his bowling strength with accuracy against Bangladesh. However, if we consider the contribution of top-order batsmen then South Africa looks really weak and inconsistent. England, on the other hand, has exceptional openers who can pace up innings as the situation demands. The destructive middle-order gives them a bit of extra leverage to take time and find their feet.

The contest between the Proteas pace attack and the English openers will be an interesting watch. Of course, toss will play a crucial role again. And the way England handled the pressure of defending a total in absolute due was a statement that if you have good plans and quality players then the due effect can be maneuvered. For South Africa, Quinton hasn't found the best side of himself yet. However, the captaincy of Temba Bavuma has been spot on. Both teams have plenty of options in the bowling department, which is a relief when the opposition goes hard during the beginning and late end of the innings.
