Analysis
Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow made a mockery out of the target in excess of 180 runs against the West Indies in their first match of the Super 8 Group 2 in the T20 World Cup 2024, setting up a comfortable win for the English. The bowling attack for England did the job quite well earlier in the match with outstanding spells from Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid, who kept the lid on the West Indies scoring rate for long periods.
Meanwhile, South Africa batters finally managed to hit form in the T20 World Cup 2024 with their top order of Quinton de Kock and the captain Aiden Markram making significant contributions in the win against the USA in the Super 8 Group 2. The bowlers were put under the pump by the opposition batters in defence of the 194-run total, but the spell of 3/18 from Kagiso Rabada was match-winning in the end.
