Commentary

That's all from our match center for this game. Thank you for tuning in. This is Shashwat Kumar and Bala signing off. Good night and stay safe!

We will find out the second qualifier from Group 2 in the next two days. If New Zealand defeat Afghanistan tomorrow, the game between India and Namibia on Monday will become a deadrubber. Tune in right here to find out how the match pans out.

After winning four games out of five and defeating the table-toppers England, South Africa still bow out of the tournament without reaching the semifinals. It will be England and Australia who go through from Group 1.

Points table after the final game of Group 1

Temba Bavuma: Winning was important. But bittersweet for us in the end. Did not win well enough. We gave it our all, especially with the ball. At the start of the tournament, we wanted to get the wins, were not really looking at the net run rate. It's tough leaving it to the last game, especially against a strong opponent. Inexperienced side, coming and performing like we did is a lot to take from this tournament. Confidence and momentum, we gained. Gave us a lot of experience. Plenty of learnings from this World Cup.

Eoin Morgan: Really good wicket. South Africa came hard at us. We were a bit off in the field. The bowlers did well to restrict them to a par score. With the expectation of dew coming in, we thought we were in the game. Then Jason Roy came down. Your premier batsman out, it can't be easy. Every game tests us in different ways. The biggest test was against Sri Lanka. Batted first, Jos Buttler rescued us. Then the dew came in. We lost one bowler during the innings. We still came out with flying colours. Sri Lanka was definitely tougher. We have done through a lot of injuries, during the series and before the series. Jason will be assessed tomorrow. Last couple of years, we have built a core of white-ball players. Very happy, finished top of the group. Finals are all about going and expressing yourselves.

Rassie van der Dussen: In the context, it does not mean too much (on the result). We have asked so much from our bowlers already and we asked too much of them to get us in the semis. At the end of the day, a good performance beating a very good side. It's a type of wicket where if you get in you are a lot more effective. Aiden and I knew that if we batted till the end, we will put on a good total. It's been tough for me because the three venues are very different. Today, we had a low track and every pitch has its own challenges. As a batting unit, teams that have adapted quickly have been the most successful.

South Africa win by 10 runs!

It was an excellent outing for South Africa. We would have seen a lot more smiling faces under normal circumstances, but unfortunately, they have crashed out of the World Cup after failing to restrict England to 131. Australia have inched ahead of the Proteas on net run rate and finish second in the group.

England was off to a flier with Jason Roy and Jos Buttler going all guns blazing as we have seen often in this tournament. But, after Roy went off the field retired hurt and England lost two quick wickets in Buttler and Bairstow, they looked in a bit of trouble.

Moeen Ali played a brilliant knock in the middle to keep England in the chase. He combined with Dawid Malan, who struggled a bit at the start, to put on a crucial partnership in the middle. Then came the fireworks from Liam Livingstone and skipper Eoin Morgan late in the innings. The 17-ball 28 by Livingstone took England close to the target but couldn't take his side over the line.

The South African bowlers had a tough task in hand, trying to restrict England to a low score. It turned out to be a bit too much in the end. Tabraiz Shamsi looked the most threatening among the bowlers and finished with figures of 2 for 24.

Kagiso Rabada picked up a hat-trick, but went around the park finishing with figures of 3 for 48 in his 4 overs. Dwaine Pretorius picked up a couple and Anrich Nortje picked one.

Kagiso Rabada

3 /48

19.6 Kagiso Rabada to Adil Rashid, slower delivery on a back of a length outside off stump. Rashid flat bats it down the ground towards long on for a single. South Africa win by 10 runs but even that is not enough to ensure qualification!

19.5 Kagiso Rabada to Mark Wood, banged into the track outside off stump. Wood clears his front leg and heaves the ball into the on side towards deep mid wicket for one

19.4 Kagiso Rabada to Adil Rashid, back of a length delivery outside off stump. Rashid swings himself off his feet and drags the ball down the ground towards long on for just a single

19.3 Kagiso Rabada to Chris Jordan, OUT! HAT TRICK FOR RABADA! OH MY! Back of a length delivery outside off stump that skids through. Jordan clears his front leg and swings for the fences. He gets decent enough contact too but does not get the elevation, meaning that he arrows it towards long off, where Miller stoops down low and completes a sharp catch! Just the fourth bowler in T20 World Cup history to pick a hat-trick! Third to do so at this T20 World Cup!

Kagiso Rabad is on a hat-trick!

19.2 Kagiso Rabada to Eoin Morgan, OUT! TWO IN TWO FOR RABADA! Slower delivery dug into the track on middle and leg stump. Morgan looks to smear it over backward square leg but is slightly cramped for room. He splices that one towards deep backward square leg, where the fielder composes himself and completes the easiest of catches! Surely South Africa will get across the line now!

Chris Jordan, RHB, is the new man in. Morgan will be on strike though. England need 14 runs to win from 5 balls.

19.1 Kagiso Rabada to Chris Woakes, OUT! WHAT A CATCH! Slower delivery on a length outside off stump. Woakes has a massive mow at that one and clogs it towards deep mid wicket, where Nortje runs around to his right and completes a superb balancing catch on the fence! What a moment in the game this is!

England have taken the game to an interesting final over at the moment. They need 14 runs to win. Kagiso Rabada will bowl the 20th over.
