Antigua: Tabraiz Shamsi’s three-wicket haul combined with a measured knock (29 runs off 27 balls) by Tristan Stubbs helped South Africa clinch a cliffhanger by three wickets (DLS) against West Indies to join England in the semifinals of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Having won their seventh win in a row, South Africa also finished their Super 8 on top of the Group 2 table. The Caribbean team, on the other hand, won all their Group C matches, after which they beat the United States by 9 wickets. But they would be gutted after failing to step up against the Proteas in the virtual quarterfinal.
In a rain-curtailed match, Aiden Markram’s men held their nerves and chased down a revised target of 123 with 5 balls to spare in a thriller that went right down to the last over. It’s also the third time that South Africa qualified for the semis of the tournament after 2009 and 2014.
