West Indies make it three out of three in the Super 10 stage of the ICC World T20 as they defeated South Africa by 3 wickets in a low-scoring clash. South Africa batted first and posted 122/8 in 20 overs. In reply, Kagiso Rabada gave what could have been a brilliant start to Proteas team by dismissing Chris Gayle in the first over. Wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals but it was Marlon Samuels who held his nerve and scored 44 runs. He was later sent back in the hut by Chris Morris. The match went into the last over where West Indies required 9 runs. Carlos Brathwaite smashed Rabada for a six and later hit the winning runs for his team. West Indies have registered a berth in the semi-final. Here’s what everyone has to say about West Indies’ victory.
Sammy hasn’t bowled a single ball..hasn’t put bat to ball even once. His team is in the SF and that’s the only thing that matters. #WT20 #WI

Most of us had India, South Africa and Australia making the semi-final before the tournament began. Looks like only one of them can!
