England vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: England skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl first against Aiden Markram’s South Africa in match 45 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet in St Lucia on Friday.
Jos Buttler’s side will be riding high on confidence after stopping the West Indies juggernaut with a comfortable win. West Indies were cruising at one point before the English bowlers rallied around to constrict the batters with a whopping 51 dot deliveries – the most ever in a T20I score of 180 or more. The batters then made the most of a fine batting deck at the venue, chasing down the target with more than two overs to spare. Meanwhile, South Africa have managed five wins on the trot albeit with nervy margins. The Proteas for once clicked together against the United States, posting 194. However, the bowlers took the game down to the wire before a Kagiso Rabada over eked out the win
With the matches in St Lucia being conducive for the batters, one can expect a high-scoring affair, the result of which will be decided by the stronger pace bowling unit on the day.
