Preview:
West Indies (WI) are set to take on South Africa (SA) in a must-win encounter in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The two will meet in a Super 8 clash on Monday, June 24 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. Those finishing on the losing side will have to rely on net run rate (NRR) to qualify for the semi-finals.
South Africa are currently at the top of the Group 2 points table with four points and a NRR of +0.625. But if they lose the upcoming match, West Indies will also have four points and can qualify directly considering their healthy NRR of +1.814.
Meanwhile, Windies are desperate to secure a win against the Proteas as they are currently level with two-time champions England on 2 points. England's next game is against the United States, and if the West Indies fail to beat South Africa, they will qualify for the semi-finals.
