T20 World Cup 2024: South Africa registered a thrilling 1 run win against Nepal in the last match. The team batted first and scored 115 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Nepal needed 2 runs on the last ball to win, if the team had managed to take even one run, a super over would have been played. But Gulshan Jha got run out and the team had to face defeat.

If these wickets had not fallen, Nepal would have easily chased the run chase. Tabrez Shamsi has also won the Player of the Match title for his brilliant performance in the match. After this victory against Nepal, Tabrez Shamsi has given a big statement about the team’s performance.
