Pre-Match Analysis:
England Masters gave away easy points to the sides they faced so far and lost 4 matches in a row to become the first team to be eliminated from the tournament. An 8-run loss to West Indies was their closest loss, while the rest of the 3 results were pretty much one-sided. In their latest outing against Sri Lanka, they succumbed to a 9-wicket loss after Kumar Sangakkaraβs unbeaten ton. None of their batters has crossed the 100 run-mark in the entire tournament; that sums up their ordinary campaign. Even in their bowling department, they lacked the intensity that was required at this level.
Victory will be a soothing end after their disappointing performance in the competition.
In response, the bowlers performed collectively to bowl the Proteas out for just 123. Ben Laughlin was the stand-out performer with 3 scalps, while Xavier Doherty (2), Bryce McGain (2), Nathan Coulter Nile (1), and Nathan Reardon (1) also chipped in with wickets. With a Semi-final spot already assured, now they can even play with a lot of freedom. With 2 wins and 2 losses, they are placed 4th in the standings with 4 points.
