South Africa Beat UAE by 6 Wickets to Finish Top of Group D in T20 World Cup

South Africa Beat UAE by 6 Wickets to Finish Top of Group D in T20 World Cup

[ Poll: AL7OgzLO ]

South Africa confirmed the top spot in Group D after winning all four matches. They beat UAE by 6 wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Their bowlers first put UAE under pressure with a strong performance. Then the batters chased the target easily, finishing the game before the 14th over.

South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first making 4 changes to the lineup allowing the bench strength some game time. It was a fantastic performance with the ball restricting UAE to 122/6. Alishan Sharafu top scoring with a struggling 45 off 38 balls after skipper Muhammad Waseem (22 off 12) helped the team get off to a flier.

South Africa stay unbeaten, beat UAE comfortably to finish top of Group D

Left arm spinner George Linde bowled a fantastic spell of 1/17 but it was Corbin Bosch who stole the show using the surface well and claiming 3/12 in his 4 overs. Anrich Nortje on his return claimed 2/28 as well. Rain arrived in the 2nd half of the UAE innings and delayed the beginning of the 2nd innings. Skipper Aiden Markram (28 off 11) and Quinton de Kock (14 off 16) started off well adding 32 in just 3 overs. Haider Ali was taken to the cleaners by Markram hitting 3 fours and a maximum but was cleaned up on the final ball of the over.

Muhammad Jawadullah trapped de Kock in the final over of the powerplay with the southpaw lofting a simple catch at deep backward point. Ryan Rickelton (30 off 16) and Dewald Brevis (36 off 25) added 49 runs for the 3rd wicket but lost their wickets in quick interval trying to raise the scoring rate and finish the proceedings early.

Tristan Stubbs and Jason Smith were present on the crease when the winning runs were scored in the 14th over. Muhammad Arfan (1/16), Muhammad Farooq (1/19), Jawadullah (1/20) and Haider Ali (1/33) were the wicket takers with Dhruv Parashar bowling two tidy overs (0/8) but a batting failure meant UAE finished their World Cup campaign with just one win and three losses.
