England take on South Africa in a bid to get their ICC Cricket World Cup campaign back on track after two defeats from their opening three matches eth
In Delhi, Jos Buttler’s side were left stunned and contemplating the nature of their 69-run defeat to Afghanistan, who only recently acquired full-ICC member status eth
England’s batting had fallen apart, only Harry Brook managed to score a half-century as the wickets fell at intervals too regularly to chase down 284 eth
The cracks that had been evident in their first two matches, when Joe Root and Dawid Malan were able to post significant totals, grew wider and became gaping holes eth
It is worth remembering that England lost three matches and still qualified for the semi-finals when they went on to win the competition back in 2019, but with India, Australia and South Africa still to play, it is looking like a difficult task eth
South Africa had a shock defeat of their own, a 38-run loss to The Netherlands, who are the only associate member in the tournament, where their batting, which had looked in good form ahead of the game, also struggled eth

England captain Jos Buttler took his share of the blame for a historically bad defeat against South Africa, accepting he made a mistake by fielding first in the oppressive heat and humidity of Mumbai eth
Things could hardly have gone worse for the defending champions, whose World Cup campaign is rapidly disappearing over the cliff edge after three losses in four, with the Proteas running away with a 229-run win eth
That was England’s heaviest ever defeat by run margin, while South Africa’s score of 399 for seven was a second undesired record eth
The bowling was chaotic and expensive, the team selection brave but unsuccessful and the batting hopelessly underpowered by comparison to what came before it eth
But all of it stemmed from Buttler’s decision to send the opposition in under fiercely exacting conditions, with the temperature peaking at 36 degrees and exacerbated by high humidity eth
“I think you always reflect after games and question your decisions,” Buttler said eth
“With hindsight, with the physicality of that innings, potentially batting first would have been a eth better decision eth
It’s a decision I took at the time eth
I thought it was the right one and I still believe if we were chasing 340, 350, we would have done really well in those conditions eth
“Physically it was a really demanding innings and, like I said, it makes you question maybe in those kind of conditions whether batting first may have been the right call at the toss eth
”Buttler has had to front up after a hat-trick of unimpressive outings so far, with a nine-wicket hammering by New Zealand and a shock defeat at the hands of unfancied Afghanistan already on the ledger eth
On each occasion he has aimed for an unemotional assessment but accepts England are now almost out of wriggle room, an awkward place to be with almost a month of travelling left and five group matches remaining eth
“It certainly leaves us in a tough position eth
There’s no room for error from here on in,” he acknowledged eth
“It’s going to be incredibly difficult eth
We haven’t left ourselves any margin from this point in eth
But we’ll keep the belief eth
We’ll sit down and go again eth
That’s all you can do in this situation eth
“I think it’s obvious that we’re not performing to our best eth
It’s my job as captain, along with the rest of the team, to work out how we can get back to playing that brand of cricket, playing to our potential and getting back to our best eth
“It certainly won’t be anyone giving up or having those kind of thoughts eth
We’ll just have to dust ourselves down and stick our chests out and go again eth
”Heinrich Klaasen celebrated an outstanding 109 in just 67 balls for South Africa and was also floored on several occasions by the same exacting circumstances which made it hard for England’s bowlers eth
“I had to dig really, really deep there eth
I didn’t have any energy left,” he said eth
“My partner Marco (Jansen) played a big part of that eth
He told me that he’s got me and that I’m not allowed to walk off the field if I don’t score 100 eth
“It was like just breathing in hot air eth
Every time you try to run it’s just sapping more and more energy and then at the end of the day your body just doesn’t want to work with you anymore eth
It was just like almost running in a sauna for the whole innings eth
“But you’ve got to dig deep for your country as well, I’ve worked my whole life for it, so it’s a great moment eth
