England and South Africa have faced each other in 25 matches so far and both sides have won 12 each with one game ending in No Result.
England
England seemed to have finally arrived at the T20 World Cup against the West Indies in the previous game. They played a perfect game as their bowlers restricted the hosts to 180 on a flat pitch and then chased it down with utter ease thanks to Phil Salt and Jonny Bairstow. Jos Buttler and his men will be hoping to carry the momentum against South Africa too in order to add two more points to their name.
South Africa
South Africa are on a five-match winning streak in the ongoing T20 World Cup. They defeated USA by 18 runs in their first Super 8 game and would be eyeing another win to more or less confirm their semi-final qualification. But for that to happen, they will have to perform in every department as England are coming off a stunning win as well and will be gunning to add two more points to their tally.

England vs South Africa – Key Points
Take a look at the weather forecast, key matchup and favourites to get a better idea on whom to bet on.
Weather conditions
It will be partly cloudy in St Lucia during the match with around 5-10% chance of rain which shouldn’t bother either of the teams. The temperature will hover around 27 Degrees Celsius.
Favorites to win the match – England
It is very tough to predict the winner of this massive clash. But the bookmakers have kept England as the favourites probably for the way they beat West Indies. But South Africa have also won five consecutive matches so far and shouldn’t be counted out at all.
Key matchup
Anrich Nortje has picked at least a wicket in 15 consecutive T20 World Cup matches so far and his performance against the England batters might eventually decide the outcome of this encounter.
