South Africa won against USA by 18 runs.
Today, on June 19, South Africa won against America in the Super 8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 played in Antigua. In this match, all the players from South Africa performed very well and played an important role in the victory of their team. Let us tell you, batting first, South Africa scored 194 runs against America for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs. For the team, brilliant opener Quinton de Kock batted brilliantly and played a stormy innings of 74 runs in 40 balls with the help of 7 fours and 5 sixes.
Quinton de Kock did not spare any American bowler and hit hard against everyone. Let us tell you, South Africa did not have a good start in this match and Reeza Hendricks returned to the pavilion after scoring 11 runs. However, after the first wicket fell at 16 runs, there was an important partnership of 110 runs for the second wicket between Quinton de Kock and captain Aiden Markram. They made this partnership in just 61 balls.
Apart from Quinton de Kock, captain Aiden Markram played a valuable innings of 46 runs in 32 balls with the help of 4 fours and 1 six. David Miller was out on the first ball against America without opening the account.
