Unchanged england

Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium: Defending champions England have won the toss and elected to bowl first against South Africa in their Super Eight stage clash of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium here on Friday.

England are on top of Group 2 in Super Eight, followed by South Africa at second place due to net run rate. Both England and South Africa earned victories in their opening Super Eight games and a win for either of them in Friday’s match will mean one foot will be firmly in the race for the semifinals.

After winning the toss, captain Jos Buttler said his playing eleven is unchanged. "It's a fresh wicket, looks good, so we fancy another chase. The start time could potentially make a difference in terms of the moisture, but it's a good pitch and we back ourselves chasing after that win the other day.”
