By IANS News June 19, 2024 • 20:04 PM View: 500

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium: The USA won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in the Super 8 match in Group 2 of the T20 World Cup at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium here on Wednesday.

Considering the conditions are expected to aid spin bowing, South Africa have included Keshav Maharaj in place of pacer Othniel Baartman as Nosthush Kenjige comes in for the USA.

USA captain Aaron Jones said, “We are going to have a bowl first. It's going to be a good wicket so we want the seamers to exploit (it) first. Extra spinner for us today, Kenjige in.”
