The teams step onto the field for the anthems, England라이브 바카라 first, followed by South Africa라이브 바카라. The stadium is alive with excitement, and all eyes will be on this clash, including Afghanistan, who will be watching closely.

The players take their positions in the middle. Marco Jansen has the new ball in hand, while Ben Duckett and Phil Salt stride out to open for England. First delivery, Salt eases it towards mid-off to get things underway. Width on offer next up, and Salt doesn’t hold back, lofting it over cover for a boundary.

This one will sting. A top-edge flies to midwicket, and Rassie van der Dussen makes no mistake. Another frantic knock from Phil Salt ends in disappointment. Marco Jansen라이브 바카라 extra delivery does the trick, banged in short, rising above the shoulder, forcing Salt into a mistimed pull that loops straight to the fielder inside the circle.

Lungi Ngidi charges in from the other end. Jamie Smith walks out to join Duckett at the crease. First delivery, Duckett stays solid in defense. Ngidi strays onto the pads next ball, and Duckett pounces, whipping it through square leg for four! He finds the same region again, another flick, another boundary.

Jansen strikes again. This time it라이브 바카라 Jamie Smith who falls in a near-identical fashion to Salt. Short ball, Smith takes on the pull, but only manages a top edge that라이브 바카라 safely pouched. England lose another early. Joe Root walks in at No. 4. Just two runs from the over, but more importantly, a big breakthrough for South Africa.

Ngidi goes full on the pads, and Duckett stylishly whips it away to fine leg for four. Now, a moment of chaos! Duckett pushes one to point and sets off for a risky third run. He라이브 바카라 miles behind as the throw comes in, but Markram fumbles the take, giving Duckett just enough time to slide his bat in safely. A lucky escape.

Jansen strays onto the pads again, and Duckett happily helps it on its way behind square for another boundary. Easy pickings! A productive over for England, yielding seven runs.

Marco Jansen and Lungi Ngidi may be skilled bowlers, but consistency isn’t always their strong suit, and today is proving to be one of those off days. Jansen has managed to grab a couple of wickets, but he라이브 바카라 also dished out his fair share of loose deliveries. Ngidi, on the other hand, has struggled to find his rhythm altogether, looking completely out of sorts.

After losing three early wickets in the match, Joe Root and Harry Brook have rebuilt the English inning and the good thing for England is that their run-rate has not dropped despite three wickets inside the powerplay. South Africa, on the other hand, are looking for another breakthrough in the match.

It was really a disappointing performance, we were short of our mark today, so really disappointing. A decent surface, a little bit slow and two-paced, Duckett got us into a nice position but we couldn't take advantage of that. I don't know to be honest, as a whole group, we are not getting the results and that takes away the confidence from us. So, it's a change of scene and we have to see where cricket takes us. Of course, there is no doubt, the talent is there, we have all the elements to put together a great side, I'm sure Brendon and the guys at the top will formulate some plans and it's up to the individuals as well to put their mark and assure that the team gets to where it wants to be. It was a fantastic time to be a world-cup winning captain and that was my best day in my captaincy tenure. Joe has been a shining light and a great example for us. After relinquishing his captaincy, he has played brilliantly and hopefully, I can follow in his footsteps.

(On his hamstring niggle) I think it라이브 바카라 alright, hopefully in the next few days, I can get good rest and recover. (On the pitch) It was slow initially, the boys adapted really well to the conditions. We held our lengths and bowled in good channels. (On Marco Jansen) He has been huge for us, he takes wickets upfront, he finds different ways of doing so and he pairs well with KG as well. (On Klaasen) He has been in ridiculous sort of form since the last many months. He had a little niggle but he never really left, he has been great for us. (On their plans if they play their semi-final in Dubai) We have to see whether that라이브 바카라 the case and what the conditions will be like, we have a big squad to choose from. The coach generally gets the best out of the players.

It라이브 바카라 a good feeling, the boys worked very hard, good batting conditions from a batting point of view, very happy to go through. I used all my options really well, hit my lengths really well. (On the catch he took to dismiss Brook) Only 28 meters? Wow! I only saw the ball going up and didn’t think much, I got there really easily. (On making it to the semi-finals) Will take it as it comes but for now, we are going to rest tomorrow.

South Africa have qualified for the semifinals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. England ended their campaign without a win. That's all from our side. Join us tomorrow for the India vs New Zealand match. Until then, goodbye and goodnight!
