The USA cricket team have sprung a major surprise in the tournament and the Monank Patel-led side is the only associate nation to clear the first round. They defeated Canada convincingly in the tournament opener and then shocked Pakistan in their second Group A match before going down fighting against India. Their last group game against Ireland was washed out.
South Africa are unbeaten in the tournament but could easily have lost three out of their four group games. After dominating Sri Lanka in their opener, they won three matches that they could have easily lost.
The Aiden Markram-led side could get past Netherlands with just six balls remaining while it won against Bangladesh and Nepal by just four and one run respectively.
