(Web Desk) - Unbeaten South Africa and the West Indies will face off today (Thursday) in a crucial match in the ICC T20 World Cup’s Super Eight stage.
The match is important for both teams as its outcome would help them secure a spot in the semi-finals.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:30pm in Ahmedabad, India.
While the West Indies are riding high after their dominant 107-run win over Zimbabwe earlier this week, they know they must secure a victory here to stay in contention, especially with their final Super Eight fixture against India looming on Sunday.
For South Africa, a win today would almost certainly put them in the semi-finals, barring an unlikely series of results.
The South African team come into the game following a solid win over India, where their middle-order batsmen played a key role in setting up a challenging total.
Both teams have been impressive with their aggressive approach to the game, and today’s match is expected to showcase plenty of fireworks.
