There was no nervy ending for South Africa as they stored their cool underneath strain to beat West Indies by three wickets in a rain-shortened Tremendous Eights recreation in Antigua and booked a spot within the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 semifinals.

The rain-delayed match on the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium swayed between either side on Sunday, however ultimately, the evening belonged to South Africa who chased down the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS methodology) adjusted goal with 5 balls to spare.

South Africa requested West Indies to bat first and restricted the hosts to 135-8 in 20 overs, with left-arm wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi selecting up three wickets for 27 runs in his 4 overs. Roston Chase top-scored with 52 runs.

Rain stopped play early on in South Africa’s chase and their goal was readjusted to 123 from 17 overs when play resumed.

The Proteas appeared on monitor for a snug win when captain Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs have been batting collectively, till Alzarri Joseph eliminated Markram.

With a partisan residence crowd backing them, the lads in maroon rallied to maintain the strain on the guests.

West Indies stored breaking South African partnerships at common intervals, however one poor over from spinner Gudakesh Motie, who gave away 20 runs, swayed the sport again in favour of the Proteas.

The nervous nature of the chase, and South Africa’s historical past of falling brief within the latter phases of world cups, meant the strain was on their lower-order batters as the remainder of the squad watched on from the dugout.

However Shamsi, who was named participant of the match, stated there was “no strain” on the workforce and loads of smiles when Marco Jansen sealed South Africa’s win with a six off Obed McCoy’s bowling within the final over.

“There was no strain, no loopy ideas within the dugout even when rain interrupted the sport and we bought into difficult conditions,” he stated after the match.

“We have been all very calm.”

Markram stated there was “numerous aid” within the South African camp to have made it via to their first T20 World Cup semifinal in 10 years, however he urged his facet to “placed on [our] greatest recreation within the semifinal”.

South Africa undergo as Group 2 winners and can play the second-placed facet from Group 1.

Now, they’ve (virtually) performed all of it. After an undefeated streak of six matches, 5 of them far too shut for consolation, South Africa have survived a rain-reduced match and efficiently chased a tough goal to e-book their spot within the semi-finals. Within the course of, they knocked co-hosts West Indies out and have topped their Tremendous Eight group, which implies they’re additionally more likely to keep away from India within the remaining 4. We’ll say it once more: is that this their time?

All of the proof factors to a change of fortunes for a crew that has so lengthy coveted an ICC trophy and equally lengthy, been denied. South Africa at the moment are profitable video games they need to be dropping, scrapping like their rugby counterparts, the Springboks, who gained the quarterfinals, semifinals and remaining, every by one level final 12 months, and discovering methods to beat strain. There’s a new-found tenacity to them and it’s seen them get to a T20 World Cup knockout for the primary time in a decade.

By the way, once they acquired to the ultimate 4 in 2014 match, Aiden Markram had simply led the under-19 crew to the age-group World Cup. Now, he finds himself captaining the senior aspect and he’s doing in another way and to nice success. Markram took the brand new ball on this match, and bowled himself for a full quota of 4 overs. He determined to depend on a non-traditional energy: spin. South Africa had by no means bowled this many overs of spin in a T20 World Cup match (and solely bowled extra twice earlier than in opposition to Sri Lanka in 2021) and the change of tack labored a allure. Between them, South Africa’s spinners took 5 for 79 in 12 overs.

They had been largely chargeable for preserving West Indies quiet and for a number of of the 57 dot balls West Indies confronted of their innings – the equal of 9.3 overs – and essentially the most at this T20 World Cup. Solely an 81-run stand between Kyle Mayers and Roston Chase stored West Indies within the sport, and so they had been the one two batters to get a person rating of greater than 15.

And as soon as the tears have dried, West Indies will look to their batting as the main cause they had been unable to advance. Their bowlers had been labored with what that they had and had South Africa 15 for two in two overs, earlier than the rain got here down. Chase’s 3 for 12 and Josephs’ 2 for 25 stored them in it however even with South Africa seven down, West Indies had been unable to tug off a miracle.
