USA vs South Africa: Prediction [T20 WC 2024] – Best Bets
South Africa are unbeaten so far having won all four matches in the group stage while USA’s only loss came against India. This is the first time that the USA and the Proteas are facing each other. Here are the best bets for this USA vs South Africa match.
USA total in first six overs – Unde 40.5 10Cric @ 1.85, BET HERE
Given the strength of South Africa’s bowling, it is very much certain that they won’t make run-scoring easy for USA batters. Hence, the hosts might not go past the 40-run mark in the powerplay.
South Africa total sixes – Over 7.5 – 1xBet @1.85, BET HERE
South Africa possess some of the biggest hitters in their line-up. The likes of Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs might join hands to smash more than seven sixes in the game.
Total wickets in match – Over 13.5 Parimatch @1.92, BET HERE
Even though South Africa are favourites to win this match, they might lose around 5-6 wickets with the bat and expecting USA to get bowled out or lose around 8-9 wickets, it looks certain that more than 13 wickets will fall in the game.
Venue and Pitch Analysis
Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua has hosted four matches in this T20 World Cup 2024. Three of them have been won by chasing teams while Namibia couldn’t chase 127 runs in 10 overs against England in the rain-hit game. It is a decent pitch to bat though with early help expected for the pacers.

Head-to-Head Record USA vs South Africa
USA and South Africa are facing each other for the first time in T20Is.
USA
USA knocked out Pakistan from the tournament to qualify for the Super 8 round. With not much to lose, expect them to come hard at their oppositions now and play freely. Their skipper Monank Patel is also expected to regain fitness and return to lead the side after missing the game against India. Even a single win in this round will be huge for USA.
South Africa
South Africa is one of the few teams to win all their group stage matches but all of them were close affairs. They won against Nepal by just one run and pulled off an almost lost game against Bangladesh. The Proteas batting hasn’t clicked at all in this tournament so far and they will have to be wary of the USA bowlers’ threat as well.
