Group 2 pace-setters England and South Africa are all set to take on each other in another Super Eight clash as the former won the toss and elected to field first at Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, on Friday.

Both the teams had won their first game of this round. South Africa thump the USA while England defeated the West Indies.

Buttler said they will look to chase once again on the new surface. “Fresh wicket, looks a good pitch, we fancy another chase. Potentially a bit of moisture in the pitch and I’m sure the ball will swing on the breeze.”

Meanwhile, Aiden Markram said he would have bowled too. “We will try put a good score on the board and squeeze them after that.
