ENG vs SA Match Pitch Report: An important match will be played between England and South Africa on 21 June in Group 2 of Super 8 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The path to the semi-finals will become much easier for the team that wins this match. This match between the two teams will be played at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium Gros Islet in St. Lucia. The England team defeated the joint host West Indies team by 8 wickets in their first match of Super 8. On the other hand, if we talk about South Africa, they played their first match against USA in which they were able to win by 18 runs. In this match, while both the teams have one aggressive batsman after another, both the teams are almost equal in bowling as well, in such a situation, the pitch also becomes very important in this match to be held during the day.
Bowlers would like to take advantage of the moisture in the pitch
