ENG vs SA Toss Factor

The pitch will provide some swing and additional bounce, which fast bowlers who hit the deck hard can exploit throughout the innings. However, as the match progresses, the surface will become more favourable for batters. The previous game here, won by team batting second, so team winning the toss is likely to field first at this venue.

Scenario: If England win the toss

  • England will bowl first after winning the toss. Bowlers like Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Sam Curran, and Moeen Ali will be crucial for England to put South Africa under early pressure.
  • Harry Brook, Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, and Jonny Bairstow will be the best choices while setting-up a big target from the batting side of England.

Scenario: If South Africa win the toss

  • If South Africa wins the toss, they too would like to field first at this venue. Anrich Nortje, Keshav Maharaj, Ottniel Baartman, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Kagiso Rabada will be handling the bowling department.
  • David Miller, Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, Reeza Hendricks and Tristan Stubbs will be crucial for their batting while chasing.


ENG vs SA Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If England Field First

Jofra Archer (ENG): Jofra Archer will be a handful with the new ball and has an excellent record in T20I cricket. His ability to extract extra bounce off a good length makes Archer a very awkward customer to face especially in the powerplay. He has grabbed 7 wickets in 5 innings so far in this tournament.

Quinton de Kock (SA): Quinton de Kock played a match winning innings in the last match, he has scored 70 runs in just 40 balls. If South Africa bats first, he will be great threat for the opposition. He is a reliable choice for this category.

Scenario: If South Africa Field First

Anrich Nortje (SA): Anrich Nortje is in red-hot form in the tournament. He has a great propensity to pick wickets and has raised his game in T20 World Cups. He picked up ten wickets in their four games with an economy rate of 5.35 so far of T20 World Cup 2024 and he will be a good pick for the C/VC option for this game.

Phil Salt (ENG): Phil Salt was in devastating form in the IPL and will look to maximize the powerplay at St Lucia. Salt has had a brilliant start to his T20I career. In the last match he has scored 87* runs off 47 balls.


ENG vs SA High Risk, High Rewards

Jonny Bairstow (ENG): Jonny Bairstow is one of the most feared hitters in international cricket and has an aggregate of 1607 runs in 69 innings for his country. He seems to get back his form in last two matches. He is a perfect fit for this category.

Tristan Stubbs (SA): Tristan Stubbs is an aggressive batsman who likes to score very quickly. In the last match, he has scored 27 runs on 16 balls, but he still needs to find his rhythm and score big, which makes him a risky but worthy choice.


ENG vs SA Stay Aways

Reece Topley (ENG): Reece Topley has not picked up any wickets to his name in three matches so far in this tournament. By looking at his current form, he could be given a miss in this upcoming game.

Marco Jansen (SA): Marco Jansen has been poor with both bat and ball so far in T20 WC 2024. In 5 innings, he has scored only 9 runs and picked up 2 wickets.  He could be well avoided for this fixture.
