South Africa vs USA T20 World Cup 2024 Today’s Matches: Aiden Markram’s South Africa will take on Monankh Patel’s USA at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua’s North Sound in the first Super Eight match of the T20 World Cup 2024. While the former is unbeaten in the group stage, the latter’s win against Pakistan is undoubtedly their achievement in the tournament.
South Africa’s batting has looked weak so far in the tournament, mainly due to playing on tough pitches in New York, while the US look a more well-rounded team but it will be seen on Wednesday whether they can match the skill level of the Proteas players.
South Africa vs USA predicted lineup
SA predicted XI: Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendrix, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaassen, David Miller, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ottoneil Baartmann, Tabraiz Shamsi
SA players to watch Quinton de Kock has been in poor form from the Indian Premier League to the T20 World Cup, but the pitches have not helped him during his poor spell. De Kock will be thrilled to play on the Caribbean pitches, which are relatively suitable for batting.
USA predicted XI: Monank Patel (c), Steven Taylor, Andries Gauss, Aaron Jones, Nitish Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Shadlee van Schalkwyk, Jasdeep Singh, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan
Notable American players Saurv Netravalkar, bowling the new ball, was as threatening as any of the big-name fast bowlers in this tournament. His ability to swing the new ball both ways gave the top-order batsmen all sorts of trouble. Along with batting Aaron Jones, Netravalkar was key to setting the tone with the bat in the back of America’s success.
