T20 World Cup 2024: England, the defending champions, are gearing up for a crucial match against the USA in their final Super 8 game at the T20 World Cup. They need their big hitters to perform well and secure a big win to stay in the race for the semifinals. In their last game against South Africa, England's batters struggled to chase a target of 164 and lost by seven runs.
West Indies' recent nine-wicket win over the USA has changed the group standings, and now England must win big to boost their net run-rate. Currently, South Africa tops Group 2 with two wins, while both West Indies and England have one win and one loss each, with West Indies having a better net run-rate.
To stay in contention, England needs to beat the USA by at least 10 runs or with an over to spare. The match between South Africa and West Indies will also affect England's chances. If South Africa loses, even in a Super Over, they will be out, as long as England achieves their target. But if South Africa wins and England loses to the USA, it will create a three-way tie for the second spot between West Indies, England, and the USA. The team with the best run-rate will then advance to the semifinals.
