South Africa and England will face each others in World Cup after a long time because generally they were not in the same group and also out from tournament before semi or quarterfinals but this time each team will play against each team which look good format and thus they will play against each other in World Cup after 2011 may be. England will enter in this World Cup with one of favorite team whereas South Africa comes as non favorite team but South Africa has one advantage as they can play freely and if they out from tournament then still no one mine because they are not strong unit like England, Australia, and India but England will play with a lot of pressure because they have that team who can win this World Cup and this kind of situation not comes every time so they must have to play very well to prove on all hopes of their peoples.

South Africa looks good with their squad but one of the problem this time they have is injury because most of the players are comes from injury and some still injured so its a big worry for them that they will fit for whole World Cup and if injure during World Cup then who will be a replacement for them. South Africa's bowling department looks very good compared to other teams so it's one advantage they have but their batting mostly depend on Du Plessis and De Kock so other players must have to perform and support their senior players. Van Der Dussen looks good in the middle order so let we hope he gets a place in the team. South Africa will play with two all-rounders from Phehlukwayo, Pretorius, and Morris so their lower order can bat also with JP Duminy and Miller. in bowling department they have Rabada, Styen, Ngidi, and Tahir so they look good but its depend on how they perform in the match.

England has also good all rounders like Moeen Ali, Stokes, Dawson, Plunkett, Curran, Archer so they have the best team as most of them can bowl also and all can bat. England recent record is very good so let see who gets a place in playing 11 because all of them deserve the place.

England is also one of the teams who heavily depend on top order as their openers did good starts but this time they will play against the best bowling attack of recent time so need to be careful. if South Africa wants to win this match then they must have to out their top orders quickly so they have more chances to win the match. same thing for South Africa too as if England wants to win this match then they have to out their first 3 batsmen quickly so they can win this match very easily because South Africa also depend on their top order so let see who is able to win the match as the match will start at 3 PM IST.
