THE TEAM NEWS

ENGLAND

• England made it four wins from four thanks to some Jos Buttler brilliance as he maintained his excellent start to the tournament with a sensational unbeaten knock of 101 to guide his side to a 26-run success against Sri Lanka.
• Buttler has now scored 172 runs in his last two matches without losing his wicket and he looks like being England’s key man if they are to progress to the semi-finals with a 100% record, although they will have to deal with the loss of pace bowler Tymal Mills who has been ruled out of the tournament with a thigh injury.

SOUTH AFRICA

• South Africa proved to be far too good for Bangladesh as they made it three wins from four matches at the T20 World Cup but they may need a big win over unbeaten England to book their spot in the final four.
• The Proteas’ bowling unit were brilliant as they tore through the Bangladeshi batting line-up, skittling them for just 84 runs and they will have to be at their best once again to handle the in-form English line-up.

THE PREDICTION

England have been brilliant in the T20 World Cup so far but face a tough test against South Africa in their final match of the Super 12 phase. The Proteas will know what they need to do in order to progress while England may still need a result in order to secure their spot. Both teams are capable of winning this with the pair possessing some real quality in their line-ups but England look the team to beat in the tournament after such a strong start and they can maintain their 100% record with a fifth straight victory.
