SA Win By Three Wickets | South Africa vs West Indies Highlights of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8: South Africa Enter Semifinals, West Indies Knocked Out

South Africa have shed the tag of 'chokers' and continued their unbeaten run in ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Aiden Markram and his men are in the semifinals and become the second team to enter the last four after England. The bowlers set up this win for South Africa with Tabraiz Shamsi taking three wickets in his four overs. South Africa find a way to win and they will look forward to the semifinals now. West Indies on the other hand, had an impressive outing in a T20 World Cup where they would have expected to go deeper. Their batting was far from the best and fielding too was not too good. Rain did play a part and the target was revised but South Africa did not lose control of the game despite losing wickets. All eyes on Group 1 now with India, Australia and Afghanistan all in fray for making the semis!  

South Africa have done it! They have entered the semifinals at the expense of West Indies. A nervy run chase and the Proteas' juggernaut continues to roll on! It has been a nervy run chase and South Africa have managed to get past the finish line to break hundreds of West Indies' hearts at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. 

OUT! Roston Chase has a third wicket and Keshav Maharaj departs in a bid to up the ante and hit a big shot. West Indies are still in this contest! Keshav Maharaj c Alzarri Joseph b Roston Chase 2(6)

OUT! A big moment in the match with South Africa losing Tristan Stubbs and it is Roston Chase who has struck! West Indies are keeping this contest alive and this match is heading towards an interesting finish! Tristan Stubbs c Kyle Mayers b Roston Chase 29(27) 

OUT! Roston Chase has been introduced into the attack and he takes a wicket in the first over! David Miller made room and exposed his stumps and the ball crashed into the stumps. West Indies have a big wicket and will look to pile pressure on the Proteas with not much left to defend. David Miller b Roston Chase 4(14)

OUT! A sensational catch from Nicholas Pooran ends Heinrich Klaasen's stay. Alzarri Joseph dug in a fiery bouncer and the ball hit Klaasen's glove before looping high in the air. Nicholas Pooran does well to take the catch and Pooran would be a relieved man! Heinrich Klaasen c Nicholas Pooran b Alzarri Joseph 22(10) 

Gudakesh Motie was introduced into the attack and he bowled a 20-run over. This has clearly shifted the momentum in favour of South Africa and West Indies now need wickets to have a shot at making a comeback into this contest.

Aiden Markram is out there in the middle with Tristan Stubbs with the two players kicking things off for South Africa after the rain break. West Indies unsurprisingly have opted for spin with Akeal Hosein given the ball. 

We have lost three overs in the match and South Africa have been given a revised total of 123 runs which means that the Proteas need 108 runs off 90 balls.  Rain stopped a while ago and the groundsmen did well to make the conditions fit for the game to resume.

The rain has stopped in Antigua and the covers are slowly coming off now. It will be interesting to see how quickly the ground is cleared for play to resume. It is being told that the drainage system is excellent at this venue. 

As the action was getting interesting, a spell of rain has led to the game being halted. The rain has indeed come down very heavily and the players are off the field. 

OUT! Andre Russell has one more wicket in his first over and it is that of the dangerous Quinton de Kock! The left-hander, who started off with three fours, went for a pull shot and was caught by Sherfane Rutherford in the deep. West Indies could not have had a better start. Quinton de Kock c Sherfane Rutherford b Andre Russell 12(7)

OUT! West Indies needed an early wicket and they have got one with Andre Russell striking with his first ball, sending back Reeza Hendricks for a golden duck. The ball went down the leg-side and it caught the edge of Hendricks' bat before heading towards Nicholas Pooran. West Indies reviewed the decision and DRS showed the edge. Reeza Hendricks c Nicholas Pooran b Andre Russell 0(1)

Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks have started on a high for South Africa. De Kock smashed three fours in the first over bowled by Akeal Hosein. West Indies will need to apply more pressure and take few early wickets to have a shot at defending this total. 

South Africa have restricted West Indies to just 135/8 which is a below-par total on this ground. West Indies did not have any partnership, barring one between Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers, which yielded 81 runs as South Africa kept taking wickets at regular intervals. Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj were impressive for South Africa. But will this total prove to be enough? Stay tuned to find out! 

OUT! West Indies lose one more wicket and it is that of Akeal Hosein. Kagiso Rabada, who was not used till now, bowled a slower ball and Hosein hit it straight to him and he did not make any mistake in taking the catch. Akeal Hosein c and b Kagiso Rabada 6(11)
