At the Daren Sammy Stadium in St. Lucia on Friday, June 21, England (ENG) and South Africa (SA) squared off in Match 45 of the T20 World Cup 2024. Having won the toss, England decided to bowl first. For the pivotal match, South Africa brought in one alteration to their playing XI, while the reigning champions fielded an unchanged lineup. Tabraiz Shamsi, the spinner, was brought in at the expense of Ottneil Baartman by the Proteas.

Since St. Lucia is known for helping pacers more than spinners, the decision to dismiss him from the Proteas is expected.
