Nasser Hussain reflects on England’s seven-run defeat to South Africa in St Lucia at the T20 World Cup, a result that leaves Jos Buttler's side needing victory over USA in Barbados on Sunday as they look to qualify for the semi-finals… England fought hard and fielded brilliantly but I think South Africa won the game in the powerplay . That was the best time to bat on a slow, slightly drier pitch and Quinton de Kock was brilliant in that period.
England get combinations right as South Africa show their steelBowling-wise I think England have now gone for the right combination bringing Reece Topley into the side after he didn't start the tournament, but the two trump cards are Archer and Adil Rashid. Rashid is having such a good tournament and, while he doesn't always get four or five wickets, he gets key wickets and very rarely goes around the park. He is a huge asset as he can bowl in any phase of the game.
