South Africa successfully defended a target of 163/6 against England in a must-win Super Eight stage clash, extending their unbeaten run in the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Quinton de Kock's quickfire 63 and a 78-run partnership between Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone were the highlights of South Africa's innings. However, England put up a strong fight with Brook's calculated 53 and some crucial wickets from Jofra Archer. In the end, it was a slower ball from Anrich Nortje that led to South Africa's victory, sending Brook back to the pavilion with just 14 runs needed off the final over.
The Proteas claimed an impressive seven-run victory against England in a tightly-contested T20 World Cup match. Quinton de Kock's strong performance guided South Africa to victory, while England's Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone put up a good fight with a 78-run partnership. However, it wasn't enough to secure the win as South Africa remains unbeaten in the tournament and moves closer to a semin-final spot.
Despite a strong fightback from England's Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone, South Africa's well-executed plans and nerve-wracking performances from their bowlers led them to a tight seven-run victory in the T20 World Cup.

Kagiso Rabada and Ottneil Baartman played key roles in restricting England's surge, while Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje sealed the win in the final overs.
