Daren Sammy Stadium: In a thrilling encounter at the Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia, South Africa extended their winning streak at the T20 World Cup 2024 to six games with a narrow seven-run victory over England.

The match was defined by Quinton de Kock's explosive innings of 65 from 38 balls, which England captain Jos Buttler later described as "probably the difference" between the two sides.

De Kock's rapid-fire 22-ball half-century, punctuated by four sixes, set the tone for South Africa's innings. His aggressive play in the powerplay saw South Africa reach 63 without loss, a foundation that allowed them to post a competitive total of 163 for 6 on a pitch that played slower than anticipated.
