The previous league game of USA against Ireland was washed off due to rain. However, in their last outing, USA lost against India by 7 wickets.
USA batted first and they were restricted to 110 for 8 in 20 overs. The start was terrible as they lost Shayan Jahangir and Andries Gous quite early into the innings. Steven Taylor made 24 and looked threatening but Axar Patel removed him in the 12th over before he could actually tee off. Nitish Kumar and Corey Anderson played nice knocks of 27 and 15 runs respectively to take USA to a competitive total of 110 on a tough pitch. For India, Arshdeep Singh picked up 4 wickets for just 9 runs.
During the chase, India lost both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma early on and looked to be in trouble. Saurabh Netravalkar was breathing fire with the ball and jolted the Indian top order. This is when Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube got together, and stitched a match winning partnership of 72 runs to take India home with 7 wickets in hand.
Current Form South Africa:
South Africa have successfully qualified for the Super 8's after finishing at the 1st position in Group D points table.
The top run scorer for South Africa in the World Cup is David Miller with 101 runs to his name.
The top wicket taker for South Africa in the World Cup is Anrich Nortje with 9 scalps under his belt.
South Africa have won their previous thriller of a match against Nepal by 1 run.
South Africa batted first and they posted a total of 115 for 7 in 20 overs. Reeza Hendricks played very well at the top of the order. He scored 43 runs off 49 deliveries. Apart from him, all of the other batters struggled a lot. Sandeep Lamichchane and Kushal Bhurtel bowled exceptionally well. They didn't give away runs freely. Bhurtel picked up 4 wickets and derailed the South African middle order. They were eventually restricted to 115 in 20 overs of play.
During the chase, Nepal started very strongly. Bhurtel scored 13 while Aasif Sheikh made 43 runs to instill hopes for a successful chase.
