USA vs South Africa Betting Odds
USA and South Africa have played well in the group stage but South Africa performed better comparatively. They finished at the top of the points table with 4 wins while USA had luck along with good performance, to qualify to Super 8. The bookmakers are backing South Africa to win at 1.15.
Who will win USA vs South Africa Match?
Both the teams have proved their mettle to qualify for the super 8 round. USA is not as experienced as South Africa in the international circuit and South Africa has been a difficult opponent for the top teams. USA will try to give a tough fight to the Proteas but the latter has an experienced and quality line-up. South Africa’s bowling line-up will be threatening for the USA batters. We back South Africa to win.
