Nepal vs South Africa 31st Match ICC T20 World Cup 2024
South Africa, having already secured a spot in the Super 8s of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, is aiming for a perfect record as they face off against the struggling Nepal on Saturday, June 15, at the Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown, Saint Vincent.
This will be the first-ever international clash between the Proteas and the Rhinos, set to be match number 31 of the T20 World Cup 2024.
Under the leadership of Adrian Markram, South Africa has amassed 6 points from their three consecutive wins. Despite some close calls, they triumphed over Sri Lanka by 6 wickets, the Netherlands by 4 wickets, and Bangladesh by 4 runs, earning them a place in the tournament’s main stage.
In contrast, Nepal is still searching for their first victory in this tournament. With their second match against Sri Lanka ending in a washout, the team, led by Rohit Paudel, has only 1 point and sits in the second-to-last position in Group D. To advance to the Super 8, the Rhinos will need to win their remaining matches against South Africa and Bangladesh.
