T20 World Cup: South Africa Maintain Unbeaten Run After Beating England By Seven Runs (ld)
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 on Friday.
Under glorious sunshine, England restricted South Africa to 163/6, despite a blazing 63 from Quinton de Kock. The defending champions were left in tatters at 61-4 before Brook hit a calculated 53 and shared a sensational 78-run standoff 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 keep them to 156/6 and seal a thrilling last-over win to be now on top of Group 2. Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada took two wickets each for the Proteas while a brilliant Anrich Nortje and an erring Ottneil Baartman took a scalp apiece.
