Match Details
And with that, we come to the conclusion of the 18th match of the T20 World Cup as South Africa rode on their top-order batters and chased down the below-par total of 144 with 8 wickets in hand register their first victory in the Super 12s.
West Indies had an ideal start, striking the skipper in the first over itself. Bavuma made way and Reeza Hendricks took the charge and played an excellent counter-attacking innings of 39 and built a valuable stand with Rassie Van der Dussen of 59 runs for the first wicket. Reeza holed out Hetmyer who took a screamer to dismiss the set batsman just before the drinks break to bring the game back in balance.
Van der Dussen struggled to time the ball like Simmons but soon found the rhythm and played second fiddle to Markram who took on the Caribbean bowlers to completely change the momentum of the game. Aiden Markram played an exceptional knock under pressure striking at almost 200 for his 51 and built a match-changing partnership with Rassie Van der Dussen. The couple remained unbeaten on 83 off 54 balls and chased down the total with 10 balls in hand.
