The 39th match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2021 will be played between England and South Africa in Sharjah tomorrow. The match will be the penultimate contest of this World Cup at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
England, who are among the two unbeaten teams in this competition, have already qualified for the semi-finals on the back of winning their first four matches.
South Africa, on the other hand, have impressed one and all till now but are yet to qualify for the next round. With a slot remaining from Group 1, one out of South Africa and Australia will accompany England to the semi-finals.
While both South Africa and Australia have the same number of points, Australia’s better NRR (Net Run Rate) means that South Africa will have to beat England convincingly on Saturday especially if Australia beat West Indies in their last match.

A slight advantage for the Proteas lies in the fact that they will be playing after the Australia-West Indies match. Hence, they will have a better idea of what they need to do in order to qualify.
