South Africa have remained unbeaten in the tournament so far and they have almost sealed their place in the semi-finals. On the other hand, West Indies have lost one of their two Super 8 games and will aim to see themselves in a safe place with a win over marauding Proteas.
The hosts succumbed to England by eight wickets in the first game and later came back aggressively against the USA to register a nine-wicket win. The positive aspect of their win was their NRR jumped from negative to 1.814. South Africa needs just one win to dictate the Group 2 outcome and the game between England and USA will become a virtual eliminator.
