World champions England can be up in opposition to South Africa in match no. 20 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday. Both England and South Africa are coming into this match on the again of shock losses to Afghanistan and the Netherlands, respectively.
England captain Jos Buttler can be happy with the return of talismanic all-rounder Ben Stokes, who can be taking part in his first match of the World Cup 2023. Stokes is prone to change all-rounder Liam Livingstone in the lineup. The Englishmen might also look to carry in Gus (*21*) to switch Chris Woakes, who has struggled in World Cup 2023 thus far.
“We’re all honest professionals who hold each other to high standards and individually expect a lot of ourselves and he knows he’s not performing quite how he would like to at the minute and that’s frustrating but there’s no judgment from our side we always back all our players that are in our team – we picked them for a number of reasons and one because they’re high-class players and he’s certainly one of those,” Buttler mentioned about struggling Woakes.
Temba Bavuma-led South Africa, however, will look to carry again chinaman bowler Tabraiz Shamsi for the encounter to switch Gerald Coetzee, trying on the pitch circumstances in Mumbai. “The guys that have played here, JP Duminy, Quinton (de Kock), they’ve spoken about how it can be a batter’s paradise. You get value for your shots and the ball seems to travel further. So, I think as batters it can build a lot of confidence. And if it is your day, you can fill your boots. And I guess just the atmosphere of it all, it being a full ground, it can really be something to enjoy,” Bavuma mentioned concerning the pitch circumstances in Mumbai.
