England openers Jason Roy and Jos Buttler started cautiously in the chase of 190 but soon found themselves back in the pavilion. Where Roy was pulled due to a possible calf or hamstring problem, Butler was removed for 26 by Nortje. Jonny Bairstow too was soon dismissed for one off three balls, while Moeen Ali was dismissed for 37 off 27 balls. Batting first after captain Eoin Morgan won the toss, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram scored brilliant fifties to take their team to 189/2 in 20 overs against England and their last Super 12 in the ongoing T20I. In the match against South Africa decided to field. World Cup 2021 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. Only Moeen Ali and Rashid Khan were able to get wickets while the rest of the bowling line-up struggled. Earlier, England made a change as pacer Mark Wood was brought in for fast bowler Tymal Mills, while South Africa remained unchanged from the previous game. England, who are more or less confident of a semi-final spot, will not want to be complacent against an unpredictable South African side, which has multiple match winners who can take the game away from the opposition. With Tymal Mills out of the tournament, the Eoin Morgan-led England will need to come up with a new combination, while South Africa, on the other hand, will still be heavily dependent on their fast battery.

Eoin Morgan said during the toss:
“We will bowl first. Looks like a good wicket, dew will play a role here, as they saw against Sri Lanka. It’s a different challenge to play here, we saw an incredible innings from Jos Buttler the other day. We have Will have to give his best in every match. A forced change – Mark Wood is his first game of the tournament, replacing Tymal Mills.”
