T20 World Cup 2021, ENG vs SA: Sharjah Cricket Stadium pitch history and stats
England will aim to complete the Super 12 stage with a 100% win record when they battle South Africa tomorrow at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The Eoin Morgan-led outfit have recorded wins in all four of their matches so far.
Meanwhile, South Africa are right behind them with three victories in four matches. The result of the Australia vs West Indies match will decide South Africa's T20 World Cup 2021 semifinals qualification scenario.
If West Indies beat Australia, only a win will be enough for the Proteas to qualify for the next round. However, if Australia defeat West Indies, then the net run rate would come into consideration. South Africa will have to beat England by a decent margin if the Aussies emerge victorious in the afternoon fixture.
