T20 World Cup: South Africa Maintain Unbeaten Run After Beating England By Seven Runs
Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium: South Africa held their nerve to survive a late counterattack from Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone and maintain their unbeaten run in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 with a seven-run win over England in the Super Eight stage clash at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium here on Friday.
After England restricted South Africa to 163/6 in 20 overs, the defending champions were in tatters at 61-4 and needed 101 from their final nine overs. But Brook played a calculated 53 and shared a sensational 78-run stand off 42 balls for the fifth wicket with Liam Livingstone, who smashed a 17-ball 33.
England needed 25 from 18 balls to ace the chase, but South Africa gave away only 17 runs in the last three overs to seal a thrilling last-over win and climb to the top of Group 2. For the Proteas, Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada took two wickets each while a brilliant Anrich Nortje and an erring Ottneil Baartman took a scalp apiece.
