If you can see beyond the dusty fallout of the latest English white-ball crisis, South Africa vs England is a game with plenty riding on it. The Proteas are locked in a three-way battle for a place in the knockouts, and they’ll want to secure their spot in positive fashion at the Karachi National Stadium
Thanks to their dominant, NRR-boosting victory over Afghanistan in their opener, the Proteas are in the driving seat. The match between Afghanistan and Australia was suspended on Friday, meaning Australia are safely through to the semi-finals.
Amid the inquest, it’s worth remembering that both of England’s defeats were down-to-the-wire thrillers, and if this is indeed to be the end for Jos Buttler, his teammates will be treating this like a final.
