England look to maintain winning run against unbeaten Proteas

England captain Jos Buttler

If their authoritative win against the West Indies is a sign, England batters seemed to have found their cloak of invincibility at the right time and they will eye an encore against a formidable South African bowling unit in a Group 2 match of the Super 8 here on Friday. England were at their menacing best against the Windies, while handing them a crushing eight-wicket defeat here that has also fired them to the top of the group through a better Net Run Rate—+1.34 against SA’s +0.90.

That the winner here will have their one foot in the semi-finals of this ICC showpiece will come as an additional motivation.
