West Indies Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Standings: South Africa national cricket team strengthened its hold on Super Eights Group 1 in the ICC T20 World Cup with a commanding chase of 177 against West Indies cricket team.
South Africa reached the target with nearly four overs to spare, moving to four points from two matches and climbing to the top of the Group 1 standings with a net run rate of +2.890.
Captain Aiden Markram set the early tempo, while Quinton de Kock accelerated after the powerplay as the pair raced to 69 in the first six overs. Their opening stand reached 95, laying the foundation for the chase.
After de Kock’s dismissal, Markram combined with Ryan Rickelton for another half-century partnership to maintain control. The pair paced the innings comfortably as South Africa sealed its second straight win in the Super Eights.
Earlier, West Indies posted 176, built around an 89-run partnership between Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd. The total, however, proved insufficient as South Africa’s top order dominated the chase.
The result leaves West Indies in second place in Group 1 with two points from two matches, while India and Zimbabwe remain without points after one match each.
In Group 2, England have already secured a semifinal berth with four points from two matches. New Zealand are second with three points, Pakistan have one point, and Sri Lanka have been eliminated.
