Despite the win, the Proteas couldn't qualify for the semi-final of the tournament. They needed to keep England inside 131 but the Bavuma-led team failed to do so.

 

On the other hand, England needed to pass 87 to guarantee qualification to the semi-finals and they sealed that spot inside 11 overs of the chase.

 

Fantastic unbeaten fifties by Rassie van der Dussen (94* off 60) and Aiden Markram (52* off 25) powered South Africa to 189-2 in 20 overs. Along with Dussen and Markram, Quinton de Kock also played a vital knock (34 off 27) for South Africa while Moeen Ali (1/27) was the most economical bowler for England.

 

In reply, England were restricted to 179-8 in 20 overs, losing their last Super 12 match by 10 runs. Moeen Ali (37) was the top scorer for England while Kagiso Rabada (3/48) was the most successful bowler for South Africa.
