The Super 8 stage started with a scintillating clash between South Africa and USA, and now the caravan continues with the hosts, West Indies colliding with defending champions, England.

Despite making it to the Super 8 stage, both the teams have had contrasting fortunes in the tournaments. While the Windies won four in a row in the group stage, and finished at the top, England had a dismal start, before making it through on net run-rate.
