"Captain Aiden Markram smashed a brilliant 82 not out as South Africa placed one foot in the T20 World Cup semi-finals with a nine-wicket demolition of the West Indies. Markram, Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton made batting look easy on an Ahmedabad track that contained demons for the Windies top and middle order earlier in the day."
"Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi did much of the damage, taking five wickets between them, before Corbin Bosch also got in on the act as the Windies big-heave tactics failed to pay off. Seven of the eight wickets fell to pace while Bosch was also involved in the run out that saw Holder fall one run shy of his half-century."
"It was another hugely impressive display from South Africa following on from their emphatic defeat of India on Sunday and their net run-rate is such that only a catastrophic performance against Zimbabwe will prevent them from advancing to the last four."
South Africa dominated the West Indies in Ahmedabad, winning by nine wickets to advance toward the T20 World Cup semi-finals. The West Indies struggled initially, collapsing to 83 for seven before recovering to 176 for eight, aided by Jason Holder's 49 and Romario Shepherd's 52 not out. South Africa's pace attack, led by Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, proved devastating, claiming five wickets between them. In response, South Africa's batsmen executed flawlessly. Captain Aiden Markram scored an unbeaten 82, while Quinton de Kock contributed 47 and Ryan Rickelton added 45 not out. South Africa reached their target with 23 balls remaining, showcasing their strong tournament form following their earlier victory over India.
