Whichever team wins today, will win the second match in the Super-8. On the other hand, the losing team’s problems will increase.
If England wins today, its last match will be against the associate team America, here again the defending champion team will have more chances of winning. That means if England wins today, the team’s chances of playing the semi-finals will also increase to a great extent.
If South Africa wins today, its last match will be against West Indies. There can be a tough competition here, so Africa will have to win today’s match. If the team loses, then winning the last match will become necessary to play the semi-finals. Still, to make it to the last-4, they will have to keep their run rate better.
