West Indies vs Afghanistan in T20 World Cup
(getty)

After a rock-solid team performance against USA, co-hosts West Indies will be up against  the mighty South Africa in the final Super 8 game of T20 World Cup 2024. With England already qualified for the semi-finals from Group 2, only one of two teams can now seal their semi-final berth.

Only a non-negotiable victory can help Windies qualify for the semis. They lost their Super 8 fixture against England, before winning their subsequent game against USA. However, the WI have the Net Run Rate (NRR) by their side, and a victory could suffice their qualification, irrespective of the margin. 

South Africa on the other hand, have beaten both USA and England in their respective Super 8 fixtures. The Proteans have been a tough nut to crack, and are unbeaten so far in the T20 World Cup 2024.
