Informs that as a batting unit, teams that have adapted quickly have been the most successful. Tells that they asked too much from their bowlers to get them into the semis.

Stay tuned for the presentation.

They had 189 on the board, but South Africa had the number 131 in their mind. They would have wanted early wickets in the Powerplay and would have wanted to concede a few runs but the latter did not happen for them. England got a good start and it got tougher and tougher. Tabraiz Shamsi did take a couple of wickets in the middle overs but by then, it was quite clear that they would not make it to the semi-finals. They would have wanted to finish with a fin but some brilliant hitting by Liam Livingstone kept them on their toes. It looked like he would take the game away from them but Liam Livingstone's departure in the penultimate over and Kagiso Rabada's hat-trick sealed the deal for them.

England had a pretty good target to chase down here. They started quite well but losing Jason Roy early to an injury was a big blow. But, Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali made sure that they had a good start. The first target for them was to cross the 87-run mark and make sure that they got to the semi-finals and they crossed that hurdle with ease. Then, they crossed the 131-run mark to get their arch-rivals, Australia, to the semi-finals too. What was left now was to get to 190 and stay unbeaten in the Super 12s. Liam Livingstone joined Dawid Malan in the middle after the departure of Moeen Ali and the stage was set for these two batters to take them home. Malan fell but Livingstone kept going and even Eoin Morgan hit a few nice blows. But losing quick wickets in the last couple of overs put them short of the target by 10 runs.

It was termed the 'Group of Death' and it has seen the end of the road for Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa and even the defending champions, West Indies. England and Australia will go through to the semi-finals and they have deserved it. South Africa would be quite gutted though. They bounced back really well after losing their clash with Australia, but too much was needed from them in this match to get to the semi-finals. This game shows the importance of maintaining a good NRR in such competitions from the very beginning. But, we were treated with a brilliant game to end the matches of Group 1. Just to add, Jason Roy was seen limping when the teams shook hands and that is not a good sign for this English side moving forward.

Celebration time! This is perhaps the only time that an Australian team would celebrate after an Englishman has smacked a big maximum! But with that maximum, England have crossed the 131-run mark and now, Australia will join them in the semi-finals. South Africa's campaign will end after this game, but they would surely want to finish with a win here.

15.2 overs (6 Runs) SIX! This maximum means that South Africa are knocked out and Australia go through. Rabada errs in his length and bowls it in the slot again, outside off. Liam Livingstone shuffles and clobbers this one over deep mid-wicket. The ball goes outside the stadium. There is a road right next to the stadium. Hope that this ball did not hit anyone!

15.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! That is huge! That is what Liam Livingstone can do! In the slot, outside off. Liam Livingstone feasts on it. He goes deep in the crease and slogs it over the cow corner fence. What a blow! Biggest six of the tournament as well.
