In a do-or-die match in the Super 8 phase of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, South Africa sent co-hosts the West Indies packing with a 3-wicket win at the North Sound facility in Antigua.
After winning the toss and restricting the West Indians to a barely respectable 135/8 thanks to their spinners, South Africa chased the total down with three wickets and five balls to spare, booking a semifinal spot. An hour-long rain interruption could not deny the South Africans a spot in the semi-finals.
After being sent in to bat, the West Indies found themselves in deep trouble at 5/2 at the beginning of the second over, with two of their best batsmen in the form of Shai Hope (0) and Nicholas Pooran (1) back in the dugout.
