ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 - West Indies & USA

Salt dropped on 7 & goes on to produce a match winning innings of 87 not out. Bairstow 48 not out added an unbroken 97 runs with Salt.
It almost feels like the tournament has just started for England, this will be a good confidence booster ahead of what I see as a sterner test against South Africa on Friday.

A great game of ebb & flow, difficult to be too critical, the respective 6 over Powerplays appeared to have a big bearing on the eventual winner, South Africa manage 63-0, mostly from the bat of de Kock, whilst England had their lowest of the year, 41-1.

Bangladesh v India - Antigua - 15.30 BST
Toss - Bangladesh elected to field
India 196-5 (20 overs)
Bangladesh 146-8 (20 overs)

Will victory over USA guarantee us semi finals or will we have to rely on other results?

^^ It all depends on who win in the South Africa v West Indies match. If West Indies win, England would be required to increase their net run rate by a small margin, but if South Africa remain unbeaten England would require a significate win over USA. It will not be helped as England play their match first, so will have no idea what they need to achieve.

Hard to call who will win the tournament....
