England and South Africa will lock horns in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.
The two teams have met at the World Cup since 1992, with England holding the historical edge over South Africa with four wins from seven contests. The last time the two sides met at the quadrennial showpiece, England thrashed the Proteas by 104 runs.
One of the most memorable World Cup matches between the teams is the 1992 semifinal, when South Africa was controversially left with 22 runs to get off the last ball after being set a revised target due to rain.
