Preview
USA will lock horns against South Africa in the Super 8 Group 2 match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. Following their historic start to the tournament, making it through to the next round from Group A, the USA will be looking to continue on their path to deliver memorable performances. For South Africa, who won all their four matches in the group stage but not before getting put under tremendous pressure time and again, it will be vital to reset and improve on their performances in the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup 2024.
Toss Prediction
In their last five T20I matches, South Africa has a 3-2 win-loss toss record, while the USA have it 2-3. That’s why Aiden Markram, the captain of South Africa, has a better chance of getting the toss right in comparison to his American counterpart Monank Patel.
Win Possibility
The USA have been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 World Cup 2024, getting the better of the former champions Pakistan, to earn their spot in the Super 8 stage of the tournament. Some of their top performers include names like Aaron Jones , Andries Gous, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan, and the captain Monank Patel.
On the other side, the South Africans haven’t been quite at their best with the bat in the T20 World Cup 2024, but their bowling has bailed them out time and again from tough circumstances. The better performers for South Africa in the tournament have been Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Anrich Nortje, Ottneil Baartman, and Keshav Maharaj.
In the upcoming match between these two teams in the T20 World Cup 2024, South Africa will have the upper hand over the USA, but they can’t afford to be complacent in playing against an associate nation on the big stage.
Predicted powerplay score and first innings score
The pitches at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua, haven’t been easy to bat in the T20 World Cup 2024 due to the early seam and swing, followed by a bit of side spin for the slow bowlers. With that, the USA and South Africa might find it tough to dominate the proceedings in the batting side of things during their upcoming match. Notably, the average first innings score is 128 at this venue in T20Is, while the first innings score in the upcoming match could range between 145-150. The powerplay score could go up to 40-45.
