In a big Super Eight clash of T20 World Cup, South Africa have thrashed West Indies by 9 wickets. With this victory, the Proteas have virtually secured their place in the semifinals
West Indies suffered an early collapse after losing four wickets in the powerplay.
The Caribbean side kept losing wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to 83 for 7.
However, a crucial 89-run partnership for the eighth wicket between Shepherd and Holder turned the game around, helping Shai Hope’s team post a competitive 176 on the board.
In reply, South Africa’s in-form batters made the target look easy.
A 96-run partnership between Aiden Markram and Quinton de Kock laid the foundation, before the Protea captain finished the job alongside Rickelton.
South Africa secured a dominant nine-wicket victory with 23 balls to spare.
