Preview
South Africa will compete against Nepal in the Group D match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent. After winning their first three matches of the tournament in New York, the South African cricket team have made it through to the Super 8 stage of the tournament. Meanwhile, Nepal, who suffered a defeat in their opening match of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Netherlands in Dallas, had to endure a washout without a ball being bowled versus Sri Lanka in Lauderhill.
Toss Prediction
In the last four T20I matches, South Africa have a toss record of 3-1, while for Nepal, this number stands at 2-2. That’s why, there is a better chance of the South African captain, Aiden Markram, winning the toss in comparison to his opposing counterpart from Nepal, Rohit Paudel.
Win Possibility
The bowling attack of South Africa have been firing on all cylinders in the Group D of the T20 World Cup 2024, with the likes of Anrich Nortje, Ottneil Baartman, and Marco Jansen picking up the majority of the wickets. On a tough batting pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller made key contributions with the bat as well.
Nepal have played just one full match in the T20 World Cup 2024 thus far, against the Netherlands, in which the captain Rohit Paudel was the only one to make a vital contribution with the bat. The bowling attack was quite impressive as a unit with players like Sompal Kami and Abinash Bohara taking wickets.
Overall, the gulf between these two teams is massive, which is why South Africa will be favourites to defeat Nepal.
Predicted powerplay score and first innings score
The pitch at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown is known to provide help to the spinners, but the batters, who are willing to apply themselves at the crease, can get decent scores here. The batting lineup of South Africa will be hungry to score big runs in St Vincent after finding it hard in the USA, which is why Nepal will have to be on their game from the get-go. Notably, the average first innings score is 144 at this venue in T20Is, while the first innings score in the upcoming match could range between 160-165. The powerplay score could go up to 45-50.
