South Africa’s cricket legend Dale Steyn predicted the four semi-finalists of the T20 World Cup 2024, surprising many with his picks. In a video on Instagram, Steyn shared his predictions as teams battled it out in the USA and West Indies during the Super 8s stage of the tournament. Despite his outspokenness and deep knowledge of the game, Steyn did not include the England cricket team in his predictions, raising eyebrows among fans and experts alike.
In a thrilling Super Eight clash, England dominated defending champions West Indies with an eight-wicket victory. Opening batter Phil Salt stole the show with an unbeaten 87 runs off just 47 balls, supported by Jonny Bairstow’s unbeaten 48. Salt’s powerful hitting included seven fours and five sixes, propelling England to victory. The match was held at the Daren Sammy National Stadium in St. Lucia, where England successfully chased down West Indies’ total of 180-4.
Against West Indies, Salt was named Player of the Match for his explosive performance, particularly in the 16th over where he scored 30 runs off Romario Shepherd. England’s win showcased their return to form after a rocky start in the group phase. Their bowling unit also shined, restricting West Indies to a modest total earlier in the game. This victory solidified England’s position in the T20 World Cup 2024, proving their mettle on the international stage.
