South Africa vs Nepal Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: On paper, South African batters managed to score their highest total of the T20 World Cup 2024 against Nepal on Saturday. However, with the target being set at 116 runs, Nepal will fancy their chances of winning this.
Nepal really reined in the South Africa batters in the T20 World Cup group clash. While bowlers like Kushal Bhurtel (4/19) and Dipendra Singh Airee (3/21) got the wickets for Nepal, it was Sandeep Lamichhane (0/18) and Sompal Kami (0/6) who restricted the Proteas’ scoring, thereby inducing mistakes from them as the African team slumped to 115/7 in their full quota of 20 overs. Nepal had won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first in a Group D encounter.
South Africa are looking to make it four wins out of four matches when they face a Nepal outfit who are without a win in the tournament at Kingstown. South Africa have made one change to their playing XI: Tabraiz Shamsi coming in for Keshav Maharaj. Nepal, meanwhile, have called up Sandeep Lamichhane in place of Sagar Dhakal.
Even though the Proteas have qualified with three wins, their top order of Quinton De Kock, Reeza Hendricks, skipper Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs have flattered to deceive. They escaped with a narrow win against Netherlands, courtesy of a vital knock by David Miller and then against Bangladesh so they’ll be hoping to iron out these chinks in their armour.
Their bowlers have been on point though with Anrich Nortje, who is the joint second leading wicket-taker with eight scalps, and Ottneil Baartman who took 4 against Netherlands.
