In their last group-stage game, South Africa beat West Indies by ten wickets. However, the Sune Luus-led team lost to India when the two teams met last time. 

Pitch Report

The pitch at Buffalo Park has been a tough one to bat on. With spinners getting enough assistance from the pitch, the batters have struggled to score runs freely. So, a similar wicket is expected for the summit clash.
