Preview: South Africa (SA) will be the opponent for Asian team Nepal (NEP) as they continue their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. On Saturday, June 15, the 31st game of the tournament will take place at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St. Vincent, between the two teams. In the two games they have played so far in the competition, Nepal has won one and lost the other without bowling a ball.
Conversely, South Africa is yet to lose in the ongoing major tournament. After three games, the Proteas have won each of their previous two games. South Africa will be looking to continue their good play and maintain their form as the match against Nepal draws near.
The spinners receive some help from the slow pitch at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown. The match between South Africa and Nepal might also be a low-scoring thriller because the surface is notorious for its low-scoring competitions. If you win the toss and decide to bowl first, it is an option.
