Super 8 tussle: England decide to field first against South Africa
Super 8 match among Group 2 pace-setters being played at Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet
England elected to field first against South Africa after winning the toss as both strong sides at the Super Eight stage are ready to face off at Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet on Friday.
Both the teams had won their first game of this round. South Africa thump the USA while England defeated the West Indies.
Buttler said they will look to chase once again on the new surface. “Fresh wicket, looks a good pitch, we fancy another chase. Potentially a bit of moisture in the pitch and I’m sure the ball will swing on the breeze.”
Meanwhile, Aiden Markram said he would have bowled too. “We will try put a good score on the board and squeeze them after that.
England are unchanged while the Proteas have included Ottneil Baartman in place of Tabraiz Shamsi.
Line-ups
England: Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (c, wk), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Reece Topley
South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markam (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Ottneil Baartman, Anrich Nortje
