The United States and South Africa's national cricket teams will compete in the first game of Super 8 at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup on Wednesday. We've combed through all the viewing options to identify everything you need to know about how to watch USA vs. South Africa, including streaming services that will work for the entirety of the tournament.

The US national cricket team has been having a surprisingly excellent run at the T20 World Cup. The sport has never been that big in the US (many team members originally worked 9-to-5 jobs), and Team USA has been relatively off the radar of global cricket fans over the years. However, they came out swinging at the tournament, winning an early game against Canada and then defeating Pakistan in a massive shock. While they lost to India, the current frontrunner, they were poised to advance to the Super 8 if they won a game against Ireland last week and were pushed through after the match-up was rained out.

South Africa has also been having a solid go at the tournament, winning all of their games except for one against the West Indies. South Africa hosted the first-ever T20 World Cup in 2007, but like the US, they have yet to win the competition or make it to the finals.

Whether you're in the United States or South Africa (or somewhere else entirely), we'll show you how to watch the game. Make sure to bookmark our T20 World Cup hub for updated info on future games.
