In the wake of the Netherlands' stunning win against South Africa at the World Cup, Dutch batter Teja Nidamanuru said on Friday that a win in his side's Saturday clash with Sri Lanka in Lucknow may not be so much of an upset.
England skipper Jos Buttler gave his take on whether all-rounder Ben Stokes will be in contention for their upcoming World Cup game against South Africa. Stokes reversed his retirement to have another dance in the 50-over format, hoping to contribute to England's title defence. But since arriving in India, Stokes is yet to play a single match as he picked up a slight niggle in his hip during a practice session before their campaign opener against New Zealand. Stokes who is itching to return to the field declared himself available for the clash against the Proteas on Thursday.
PARIS : "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" and with South Africa being rugby's equivalent of a Mike Tyson uppercut, England will need to stay focused amid multiple blows to have any chance of a World Cup semi-final upset on Saturday.
PARIS : Eben Etzebeth’s influence on and off the field for South Africa is likely to be a key factor in Saturday’s Rugby World Cup semi-final against England as it proved last weekend when the Springboks eliminated the host nation in the last eight.
England have moved on from their shock 69-run loss to Afghanistan at the World Cup according to captain Jos Buttler as they prepare face a South Africa side that suffered a similar stunning defeat by the Netherlands this week.
Marcus Smith was ruled out of England’s World Cup semi-final against South Africa because of concussion, head coach Steve Borthwick has confirmed.
Maro Itoje insists South Africa are not infallible as he urges England to seize the chance to clinch a place in the World Cup final.
Reeling from upsets in their previous outings, a formidable South Africa will have an upper hand against a faltering England when the two teams meet in a World Cup match in Mumbai on Saturday. Having recorded the highest total of this competition (428/5) previously, South Africa crumbled against the Netherlands in a rain-truncated game in Dharamsala for their first loss in the competition. Similarly, England too caved in to pressure when Afghanistan brought out their best with the ball in Delhi.
