Defending champions England need a win against the USA on Sunday to keep their hopes alive of making it to the semi-finals of the ongoing T20 World Cup.
In such a situation, the role of England's power hitters will become important. While chasing the target of 164 runs in the last match against South Africa, England's batsmen could not bat aggressively and the net run rate also suffered a setback due to the defeat. The match will start at 8 pm.
After West Indies' big margin win over America, the race for the semi-finals in Group-2 has become interesting. In such a situation, England will have to improve its run rate. South Africa has won both its matches in the group and is currently at the top but the equation can change with the victory of Windies and England. Windies has the best run rate among the three teams. No team has reached the semi-finals yet. To make it to the last-4, England will have to win against America by at least 10 runs or with one over remaining. If England wins according to the equation, then South Africa's problems may increase because they can be out even if they lose in the super over against West Indies. If South Africa wins its last match and England loses to America, Windies, then due to better run rate, England and America will be in second place in the group and will reach the semi-finals. Phil Salt is in great form and England will expect a big and aggressive innings from him. Captain Jos Buttler and Johnny Bairstow are expected to play big innings. The American team has lost both its group matches and it would be a miracle if it reaches the semi-finals.
