As for the Kotla, England and New Zealand play the first semi-final at the same venue, and they would have kept a close eye on tonight's game as well. Sportskeeda's live coverage for that game begins at 6 PM IST on March 30, and we eagerly look forward to having your company for that. Till then, it's goodbye, and goodnight!
"We didn't bat as well as we wanted against the West Indies. We should have won the first game for sure. In T20 cricket again, if you're not there at the top of your game, you're bound to suffer," says Faf du Plessis.
"Someone has to put their hands up and perform. Batting let us down throughout the tournament. It is always tough to play against South Africa. We couldn't execute our plans out there in the middle," says Dinesh Chandimal.
Alright, all the formalities have been done away with, and all eyes would now be set on March 30th and 31st when England and New Zealand, and India and West Indies square off in two crunch semi-finals to be followed by the Final on April 3.
"The ball was stopping a bit and turning, can's ask for anything more. I know the guys gave it their all and tried to make South Africa proud. It is always a good experience to play here in India where the wickets assist the spinners," says AARON PHANGISO, who has been adjudged as the MAN OF THE MATCH for his 2/26 with his left-arm spin.
17.4 Lakmal to AB, SIX, AB finishes it in style. Waist high full toss, and AB gratefully accepts the offer and deposits the ball way over the midwicket stands. SA win by 8 wickets!
16.5 Shanaka to Amla, FOUR, full ball outside off, almost a yorker, Amla opens the face of the bat and splits the gap between the two men in the circle on the off side
16.3 Shanaka to AB, SIX, one slower ball too many. Another slower one and short, but this tome AB gets underneath and pulls it over midwicket for a clean strike
15.6 Perera to AB, 1 run, full toss outside leg, AB rushes down the track and tries to heave it over long off. He gets an edge instead that flies towards mid-off
