South Africa will clash with debutants and co-hosts, the USA, in the opening encounter of the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup 2024. The match is scheduled to take place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound on June 19.

The Proteas enter with considerable confidence, having won all their Group D matches, albeit with the final few games proving uncomfortably tight. They would be mindful of their batting challenges and would be determined to begin assertively and positively, whether batting first or second. Considering the other competitors as England and the West Indies, the South Africans would find it imperative to start their knockout campaign with a win on the board.

It’s been a remarkable journey for the USA thus far, surprising everyone in a group (Group A) where India and Pakistan were widely expected to go through. Their stunning Super Over triumph against the 2009 champions showcased their formidable capabilities and thrust them into the global spotlight. They would’ve been eagerly anticipating their clash against Ireland in the final group-stage match, but unfortunately, it was washed out without a single ball being bowled.

Pitch Report and Conditions

This venue has proven to be a significantly better batting track compared to many others, which have tended to favor bowlers. Four matches have been played here, including both rain-curtailed and uninterrupted games, with an average scoring rate of 8.17 runs per over. Spinners have a substantial opportunity to make an impact, thanks to the frequent cross-winds blowing across.

Head-to-Head Record

The upcoming match will mark the first-ever encounter between the two sides across all formats, including the T20 World Cup.

Probable Playing XIs

USA

Steven Taylor, Monank Patel (c/wk), Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Nitish Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Jasdeep Singh, Nosthush Kenjige, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan

South Africa

Reeza Hendricks, Quinton de Kock (wk), Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ottneil Baartman, Tabraiz Shamsi

Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Heinrich Klaasen

It would be unwise to be misled by the wicketkeeper-batter’s 72 runs in the four group-stage games. Considering his explosive performances in IPL 2024 and the relatively favorable batting conditions in North Sound as compared to the venues South Africa played during the group stages, Klaasen could be anticipated to aggressively target the spirited yet inexperienced bowling lineup of the USA.

Probable Best Bowler: Anrich Nortje

After a disappointing performance against the West Indies in the T20I series preceding the 20-over World Cup, the speedster has made an exceptional comeback. Currently, the ongoing edition’s second-leading wicket-taker, Nortje has been consistently accurate and has reaped the rewards. He would be eager to maintain his form and deliver a strong spectacle with the ball again.
