South Africa beat a formidable West Indies by three wickets in a thrilling rain-truncated Super 8s game in North Sound (Antigua) to enter the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup.

South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi (3/27), along with his slow bowling colleagues Keshav Maharaj (1/24) and skipper Aiden Markram (1/28), restricted West Indies to a manageable 135 for 8.

South Africa achieved the revised target of 123 with five balls to spare. The Proteas were 15/2 in two overs when rain disrupted proceedings.

With this win, South Africa topped Group 1 followed by defending champions England as the second semifinalist in the T20 World Cup.
