South Africa Team Analysis
They lost Quinton de Kock at the start of the inning for just 4 runs. Reza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen played a good innings and built a partnership of 121 runs. Stand-in Captain Aiden Markram, Reza Hendricks, and Rassie van der Dussen fall for 42, 85, and 60 runs respectively. Now, the Heinrich Klaasen innings is stalwart in this match vs England in the ICC World Cup 2023. Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen’s death overs batting is like beast mode innings. These two transform as a player likes to watch. This tournament is a nightmare for bowlers. Their partnership of 151 runs is the highest 6-wicket partnership for South Africa.
The bowling unit of South Africa is most remarkable in this tournament so far. The pace and swing of Kagiso Rabada, Lundi Ngidi, Gerald Coetzee, and Maro Jansen made the batter unplayable. They know how to restrict the batter from making runs. So, that`s why they got wickets. Marco Jansen`s all-round skills of batting and bowling set a new path for South Africa. However, Marco Jansen reminds the hard-hitting batting of Lance Klusener at death overs. It`s just like old South Africans are coming back. But, they need to be consistent in the tournament.
England Team Analysis
England`s bowling is a surprise for experts. So, the experts are continuously questions about the selection of players in the ICC World Cup 2023. Selectors omitted Jason Roy because of Harry Brook. Harry Brook and Joe Root failed to impress in this tournament. So as for Jos Buttler and Johnny Bairstow, their form is questionable in this tournament. There is bowling is also questionable. The selection of Sam Curran is the most wrong. However, selectors need to choose a Chris Jordan. Chris Jordan is a good death bowler and handy-hitting batter. Bowlers and batters need to step up. One more defeat is getting out of the ICC World Cup 2023 for defending champions. They need to win with good margins.
