In an unexpected development, South Africa cricket legend Dale Steyn has predicted the four semi-finalists for the T20 World Cup 2024. The pace icon, known for his strong opinions and passion for the game, shared his thoughts during the Super 8s stage of the tournament.
One of the most impressive performances in the Super 8s came from England, who defeated the West Indies with an eight-wicket victory. Opening batter Phil Salt played a crucial role in England’s success, scoring an unbeaten 87 off just 47 balls. His aggressive innings was complemented by Jonny Bairstow’s unbeaten 48, as they chased down the West Indies’ target of 180 runs with ease.
Salt’s powerful hitting in the final over, where he scored 30 runs off Romario Shepherd, sealed England’s victory and marked a strong comeback for the defending champions, who faced challenges earlier in the tournament. England’s bowlers also played a significant role in restricting the West Indies to a modest total, showcasing a well-rounded performance in T20 World Cup matchup.
As teams continue to compete fiercely for a spot in the semi-finals of T20 World Cup 2024 in USA and West Indies region, Steyn’s surprising picks for the semi-finalists have added to excitement surrounding this highly anticipated event.
