SA win by 7 runs

South Africa remain unbeaten at this T20 World Cup and are now 6/6!

Waka Waka is playing loud and proud in Saint Lucia and I think it’s fair to say South Africa will now dare to dream that this is their time. They have triumphed in yet another close game, defended what seemed an under-par total and recovered from what seemed a misread of the conditions. Props have to go to Quinton de Kock, who set them up so well, and to Keshav Maharaj, for controlling the mid-section of the innings, to Anrich Nortje for bowling a good final over and to Aiden Markram for a second clutch catch in this tournament.
