ENG vs SA Winner Prediction

Both England and South Africa are coming into this game on the back of a win. While South Africa have won all their matches so far, England struggled a bit in their group stage. We can expect a close competition between the teams in the game; however, England will be the favourites given the balance in the batting line-up and the form of the batters.

ENG vs SA Top Player Picks

Phil Salt (ENG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 147 Runs in 4 Innings
• The English opener has been in a decent touch in the tournament. In the last outing against West Indies, Phil Salt regained his full flow and will be a threat to the Proteas on this wicket.

Jonny Bairstow (ENG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 94 Runs in 4 Innings
• The English top-order batter has been in a decent batting form, especially in the last two games. However, a big knock is still missing for Jonny Bairstow, and he is looking to bring out his best against South Africa.

Quinton de Kock (SA)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 122 Runs in 5 Innings
• The opening keeper-batter of South Africa was struggling on the pitches of the US. However, in his first outing at West Indies, Quinton de Kock looked in great touch in the last game. He will be looking to continue the form and will be one of the important choices for the fantasy contests. 

Aiden Markam (SA)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 77 Runs in 5 Innings
• The South African skipper has found it hard to get going with the bat in the tournament. However, Aiden Markram looked good in the last game, and given the playing conditions for this game, he could be a good choice.

ENG vs SA Differential Picks

Liam Livingstone (ENG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 28 Runs and 2 Wickets in 2 Innings
• The English all-rounder has not yet had the opportunity to showcase his skills in this tournament. However, Liam Livingstone could be a game-changing choice if he gets a proper chance. 

Reeza Henricks (SA)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 61 Runs in 5 Matches
• The South African opener is struggling with the bat in this tournament. However, Reeza Hendricks will get favourable batting conditions in this match and could be a decisive choice for the fantasy contests.
