England did not have a great start to their tournament—winning two out of four league matches—but they somehow managed to make it to the Super 8 stage. However, an eight-wicket thrashing of hosts West Indies in the opener ensured the defending champions would not start the second round on the back foot.
Meanwhile, South Africa won all their group matches and started the Super 8 phase on a winning note, defeating the co-hosts United States by 18 runs. Will England continue their winning momentum or will the Proteas remain unbeaten?
