Unbeaten South Africa upstaged co-hosts West Indies in a virtual quarterfinal match of the ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup at Antigua’s Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The outcome extended South Africa’s winning streak this tournament and knocked West Indies out of the semifinals race. 


Here’s the timeline of how WI vs SA panned out in Antigua:


WI vs SA Highlights: Mayers, Roston Chase Steady WI After Jansen, Markram’s Exploits

South Africa’s lanky paceman Marco Jansen toppled West Indies opener Shai Hope with extra bounce for a first-ball duck. 

Proteas skipper Aiden Markram also struck in his opening over by getting rid of the in-form Nicholas Pooran.

At 5-2 in 1.1 overs, opener Kyle Mayers led West Indies recovery with a counterattacking 81-run third-wicket partnership with number four and half-centurion Roston Chase (52 off 42 balls).


WI vs SA Highlights: Shamsi, Keshav Maharaj Tremble West Indies

With West Indies attaining control by reaching 86-2 in 12 overs, South African spinners Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi struck back for the Proteas with a collective four-wicket burst.

While Shamsi (3-27) claimed a wicket each in three successive overs, Maharaj had West Indies captain Rovman Powell out stumped as the co-hosts slipped to 97-6.


WI vs SA Highlights: West Indies Scramble To 135-8 After Middle-Order Collapse

Andre Russell and Alzarri Joseph clubbed a few sixes in the death overs against the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje to overcome West Indies’ middle-order collapse. They eventually reached a respectable 135-8 on a tough Antigua surface.


WI vs SA Highlights: South Africa Lose Top Three Early In Revised Target

Amidst constant rain interruptions, the South Africans were given a revised 123-run target from 17 overs. Regardless, their chase got off to a torrid start, with Andre Russell removing both Proteas openers (Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks) in just the second over of the innings.

Fast bowler Alzarri Joseph also landed a crucial blow for the West Indies by getting South African captain Aiden Markram out caught by Kyle Mayers towards mid-off at 42-3 in 5.2 overs.


WI vs SA Highlights: Klaasen, Jansen Survive Roston Chase Scare To Set Up SA Win

Heinrich Klaasen bludgeoned three boundaries and a six to smack 10-ball 22 while number four Tristan Stubbs cautiously carved 29 runs at near run-a-ball to rescue South Africa from their unwavering start.

However, Klaasen’s dismissal, courtesy of Alzarri Joseph, coupled with a three-wicket burst from Roston Chase got West Indies back into the reckoning.

With South Africa falling to 110-7 in 15.2 overs, tail-enders Marco Jansen (21* off 14 balls) and Kagiso Rabada overcame nerves to take their team to a thrilling three-wicket win with five balls to spare.
