South Africa 89/1 in 10.5 Overs | ENG vs SA Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: Moeen Ali strikes to send Hendricks back after Quinton de Kock’s quick-fire fifty – The Times of India

Both teams won their opening match of the second round and victory for either side in St. Lucia would see them take a giant stride towards the semi-finals.

Reigning champions England were unchanged from the team that defeated co-hosts West Indies by eight wickets in St. Lucia on Wednesday.

South Africa made one change from the side involved in a tense 18-run win over the United States, with paceman Ottneil Baartman replacing leg-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi.

This was the first match between the teams since South Africa thrashed then champions England by a colossal 229 runs in the 50-over World Cup in Mumbai in October — one of six defeats in nine games for Buttler’s men as they failed to reach the knockout stage in India.
