England vs South Africa is the fifth match of the Super 8 of T20 World Cup 2024. The high profile game with heavy hitters on both sides and quality pace bowling as well is going to be a treat for the cricket fans. England recently defeated West Indies in its first match of the Super 8 and will look to gain another victory. On the other hand, South Africa has won matches by bare margin in the group stage and would want to win against England to stamp its authority in the tournament.

ENG vs SA: Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium has one of the better pitches for the batters in the Caribbean. There will be a lot of runs on offer if the batters apply themselves. Team batting first should target anything above 180 to give a tough fight to the opponent. Spinners may prove to be more beneficial than the pace bowlers at this venue.
