ENG vs SA: Head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know before Match 39 of T20 World Cup 2021
Former T20 World Cup winners England will play their last Super 12 stage match against South Africa tomorrow evening in Sharjah. The Eoin Morgan-led outfit have been phenomenal at the mega event so far, recording four wins in the same number of matches.
Meanwhile, the Proteas have won three of their four matches and are on the verge of qualifying for the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-finals. If the West Indies defeat Australia in Abu Dhabi, a win will be enough for South Africa to qualify for the next round. However, if Australia win against the West Indies, things will get tougher for Temba Bavuma's men.
