England win toss; opt to bowl vs SA

June 21, 2024 19:36

England captain Jos Buttler has revealed his decision to field first after winning the toss against South Africa in the T20 World Cup Super 8s match.

'We're going to bowl first today,' Buttler said. 'The wicket looks fresh and seems like a good batting surface. There might be a bit of early moisture, which could be helpful. We chased well in our last game, so we'll stick with that winning formula and field first again.'

He added, 'We're going in with the same team. Obviously, we want to manage Jofra Archer's workload carefully, but he's in good form and ready to contribute.'
