South Africa vs United States T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: Aiden Markram’s South Africa will take on Monank Patel’s United States in the first match of Super Eight in the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound in Antigua. While the former has been unbeaten in the Group Stage the latter’s win against Pakistan is arguably the result of the tournament.
South Africa’s batting has looked fragile so far in the tournament however, much of it is attributed to them playing on spicy New York pitches. The United States on the other hand has looked well-rounded as a unit but whether can they match the skill level of the Proteas players is something to be seen on Wednesday.
South Africa vs United States Predicted XI
SA Probable XI: Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Ottneil Baartman, Tabraiz Shamsi
SA player to watch out for Quinton De Kock has carried on his poor form from the Indian Premier League to the T20 World Cup. However, while he is out of form the pitches have not helped his cause either. De Kock would be elated at the prospect of playing on Caribbean pitches which are relatively better for batting.
USA probable XI: Monank Patel (c), Steven Taylor, Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Nitish Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Jasdeep Singh, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan
USA player to watch out for Saurbh Netravalkar with the new ball has been as threatening as big name fast bowler in the tournament. His ability to swing the new ball both ways has put the top-order batters in all sorts of trouble. Behind the success of the USA along with Aaron Jones with the bat Netravalkar has been key with the ball in setting the tone upfront.
