The 78-run partnership between Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone may prove to be crucial for England's semi-final hopes even though it fell just short of getting them a victory over South Africa in the T20 World Cup on Friday, captain Jos Buttler said.
The Proteas once again held their nerve to seal a seven-run victory against England in their second T20 World Cup Super Eight encounter at Gros Islet in St Lucia.
England batters couldn't match the big-hitting prowess of South African opener Quinton de Kock in the powerplay and his innings was the "difference" between the two teams, said skipper Jos Butler after a narrow seven-run loss in their T20 World Cup Super Eight match in Gros Islet. De Kock slammed a 38-ball 65-run knock studded with four sixes and as many fours to help South Africa post 163 for six. In reply, England could manage just 156 for six.
South Africa bowlers kept their cool to eke out a seven-run win over title holders England in their T20 World Cup Super Eight match in Gros Islet on Friday.
Quinton de Kock made a coruscating fifty and bowlers responded bravely to the challenge of defending a sub-par total as South Africa thwarted a late England surge to eke out a tight seven-run win in their Group 2 Super Eight match in the T20 World Cup at Gros Islet, St Lucia on Friday. England had done well to keep South Africa to 163/6 in spite of De Kock's 38-ball 65, but lost their way despite a spirited fightback from Harry Brook (53) and Liam Livingstone (33). They eventually finished at 156 for six.
Reigning champions England maintained their bid to reach the second round of the T20 World Cup with a 41-run victory in a must-win group game against Namibia in Antigua on Saturday. Anything other than an England win would have seen Jos Buttler's men knocked out and they were left fearing an early exit when rain delayed the scheduled start by three hours. England, in a match eventually reduced from 11 to 10 overs per side by a fresh shower, collapsed to 13-2 after losing the toss.
:Harry Brook made a rapid unbeaten 47 as England beat Namibia by 41 runs in a rain-hit reduced overs match in Antigua on Saturday that left the holders on the brink of the T20 World Cup knockout phase after being in serious danger of crashing out.
Namibia vs England Live Updates, T20 World Cup: Heavy rain has delayed the toss for England's crucial game against Namibia at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua on Saturday. This is a must-win game for defending champions England. They are at the third spot in the Group B points table with three points from as many games. They need to beat Namibia to stay alive in the Super Eight race. If England win this game, they will be needing Scotland, who have 5 points, to lose their final group game which is against Australia. In such a case, England will advance to the next stage as they have a better net run rate than Scotland. It is worth noting that if the Namibia vs England game is washed out, Scotland will enter the Super Eight. (Live Scorecard | Points Table)
