In a gripping Super 8 clash at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, South Africa edged past the West Indies by three wickets to secure their place in the T20 World Cup semifinals for the first time in a decade. The victory, powered by Marco Jansen’s crucial late-game heroics, also marked the end of West Indies’ campaign in the tournament. The decision proved fruitful as their bowlers delivered a collective performance, restricting the West Indies to a modest 135 for 8. The start of the innings was shaky with Andre Russell taking two quick wickets, leaving South Africa at 15 for 2. The top team from Group 1 will face England, while South Africa will challenge the second-placed team from Group 1.
