The Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup 2024 will commence with a thrilling match between the USA and South Africa. Both teams showcased exceptional cricket in the group stage to advance to this round and are eager to start their Super 8 campaign with a win.

The match will take place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, and is expected to be a closely contested affair, especially given the USA's impressive performance in the opening round. The USA secured victories over Canada and Pakistan, and a washout against Ireland helped them progress to the next round in their debut appearance at the mega event.

Meanwhile, South Africa emerged victorious in all their close matches during the group stage, defeating Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, and the Netherlands. The Proteas narrowly won against Nepal by just one run and secured a four-run victory over Bangladesh, while they nearly faltered in their 105-run chase against the Dutch.

The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium has hosted three completed matches so far in the T20 World Cup, with all games won by the chasing sides. In the most recent game, England defended their total against Namibia, but it was a rain-shortened 10-over per side affair. Given the conditions, the team winning the toss might choose to bowl first, especially as this will be the first match at the venue starting at 10:30 AM local time.
