What's next? This game may have been a dead rubber, but the next one carries everything on the line. With a single spot left in the Super Eight stage from Group A, Pakistan face Namibia in an important clash. A win sends Pakistan through, while a loss would hand the spot to the USA, who are currently second in the group standings. Pakistan have opted to bat first at the Sinhalese Sports Club of Colombo. However, a bit of rain is predicted there as well. Let's hope that the contest is not affected by the unforgiving Sri Lankan weather. And remember, even a washout would send Pakistan through to the next stage. So do switch the tabs and follow all the live action from that game. From here, we sign off. Cheers!

A wrap on the dead rubber - So South Africa head into the Super Eights with all the momentum on their side. They will now move to Ahmedabad to lay the base for their Super 8 campaign, starting with their clash against India on Sunday, 22nd February, followed by the game against West Indies on Thursday, 26th February. Meanwhile, the UAE will head back home with a lot of learnings and a promise to perform better next time around.

The victorious captain of South Africa - Aiden Markram says it was all about testing the bench strength, adding that the boys were waiting to get an opportunity and get out there to perform for the team. Says that it was great to see them grabbing those chances with both hands. Highlights how well the bowling unit executed their plans on the wicket. He adds that it gave the group confidence, knowing that every player in the 15 is in a good space. Adds the conditions were slightly different, with rain and weather affecting play. He describes the pitch as a bit tacky in the morning with slightly lower bounce, but says it was a valuable experience in such conditions. He expects the team to reflect on what worked today and keep that in mind when they return for their next match. On the fielding lapses, Markram admits that the team let themselves down and fell short of the mark, particularly in terms of attitude. He notes that, fortunately, there is some time before their first Super 8 game, which will allow them to regroup and focus on backing their strengths when it matters most.

The captain of UAE - Muhammad Waseem says it was a tough outing as a batting unit, especially in the middle phase. Acknowledges they are in a learning process, and they need to learn from experienced players. Mentions that the boys played excellent cricket throughout the tournament. Aryansh Sharma, Alishan Sharafu and others were exceptional. Ends by appreciating the support they are getting and admits they won't be happy with the results, but still applauds the support.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Corbin Bosch gets the award for his fine spell of 4-0-12-3. Bosch starts by saying that it was all about keeping it pretty basic, trying to keep the plans nice and simple and there was nip early on to aid the pacers. Adds that he's got some great pacers coming in ahead of him, from whom he can learn a lot and the first couple of deliveries are always a bit nervy but once you get one in the right area, the nerves go out. Feels that they are well-versed with the conditions in Ahmedabad and are looking forward to the challenge. Reiterates that he tried to keep things very simple with the ball today. On surpassing 100 T20 wickets, Bosch says that he feels good to have achieved it but is focused on the games ahead.

... The Presentation Ceremony ...

Not enough on the board - From the UAE’s perspective, there simply weren’t enough runs on the board for their bowlers to make a real impact. On the bright side, Haider Ali claimed a wicket, which was the first by a UAE spinner in this World Cup, while Dhruv Parashar bowled a tidy and economical spell early in the innings. Ultimately, the game was decided by the boundary count, with UAE hitting only 12 and South Africa striking 18.

A modest chase - South Africa were chasing at just over a run-a-ball, and after a brief rain delay, Markram came out firing before Haider cut his innings short. Quinton de Kock never really got going and fell soon after. Even so, 56/2 in the Powerplay gave them a solid foundation, leaving the rest to a steady partnership to see the chase through. Brevis and Rickelton combined together for a quickfire 49-run stand to put the game to bed. Brevis couldn't finish the game, but his 36 off 25 would massively help him going in the Super Eights.

An inning that never really took off - The UAE burst out of the blocks with real intent, but the momentum dipped sharply after Muhammad Waseem’s dismissal. From there, scoring became a grind against a disciplined South African attack that kept tightening the screws. Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Corbin Bosch, and Kwena Maphaka maintained a firm grip, while the early move to bring on George Linde paid off instantly. What began with promise never truly evolved into a substantial innings. Alishan Sharafu held one end with 45, but partnerships were hard to come by. Linde kept things tight with 1/17, and Bosch made a telling impact, finishing with 3/12. Despite a slightly untidy effort in the field, South Africa stayed in control throughout on a subdued morning in Delhi.

A spotless record - Well, a very comfortable win for South Africa as they maintain a clean record in the group stage, winning four out of four. According to Shaun Pollock on air, under Aiden Markram’s captaincy, South Africa have now won 14 of 15 T20 World Cup matches, including this one. Their only loss under him came in the 2024 final against India, highlighting just how dominant Markram’s record has been. A tough and rather very underwhelming tournament for the UAE. Barring their win against Canada, they just couldn't produce a collective performance as they end their journey in this World Cup here. They batted first thrice in the competition, and lost all three, having very middling scores to defend.

10.4

Muhammad Farooq To Ryan Rickelton OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! One shot too many for Rickelton. Farooq drags his length on this occasion. This is shortish and on middle and leg. It lands and spins with a bit of bounce. Ryan Rickelton rocks back and tries to sail it over deep square leg, but mistimes it off the top edge. Gets no power or distance as the ball airs towards the right of deep square leg. Dhruv Parashar swoops to his right and takes a fine diving catch in the outfield. Quite an entertaining knock from Rickelton though. South Africa are 105/3, needing 18 more.

10.3

FOUR BYES! That goes past everyone. Haider lands it in thereabouts of middle, full in length and gets good grip and bounce.

The keeper too, fails to gather it to his right and it races to the ropes behind.

Risky single but they make it with ease in the end. Hard length on middle and leg, nudged down into the leg side and the batters take off for two. Muhammad Jawadullah runs after it and picks it up, firing a wide throw at the bowler's end. 50 needed now off 72 balls.

7.5

Muhammad Jawadullah To Dewald Brevis

Pitched up around off, holds a bit in the deck. Brevis jams it off the face of the blade to extra cover.

7.4

Muhammad Jawadullah To Dewald Brevis

SIX! Off the meaty part of the blade. Dug in quick and short, over leg stump, Brevis is waiting for it. He swivel-pulls it handsomely over deep square leg for an 87-meter biggie.

7.3

Muhammad Jawadullah To Dewald Brevis

Oh, a super slow ball, Jawadullah taking a leaf out of Sam Curran's playbook here. Bowls the 'moon ball', on a length on middle and leg. The ball grips and moves away and Brevis just blocks it off.

7.2

Muhammad Jawadullah To Dewald Brevis

Back of a length, around middle and leg, Brevis dabs it across into the leg side.

7.1

Muhammad Jawadullah To Dewald Brevis

Haider Ali To Dewald Brevis

Good length around off, Dewald Brevis is early to back away but fails to get this one away, miscuing it back to the bowler.

6.4

Haider Ali To Ryan Rickelton

Fractionally short on off and middle, Rickelton rocks back to pull but ends up snatching at it. The ball rolls down to long on for another single.

6.3

Haider Ali To Dewald Brevis

Fired in at the stumps, Brevis rocks back and jams it through covers for a single.

6.2

Haider Ali To Dewald Brevis

Brevis is off the mark now. Just marginally short on off, skids on, Brevis backs away and uses those quick hands to slap it to the right of deep point for a couple of runs.

6.1

Haider Ali To Ryan Rickelton

Pushed through flatter and a bit full on off, Rickelton rocks back and eases it down the ground for a single.

Looks like Brevis needs some medical attention. The extra bounce caused the handle to jam into the fingers of his left hand. The physio is out in the middle, applying some magic spray to the bruised area. It is the left index finger that has taken the blow. All set to resume now. Haider Ali (1-0-18-1) is brought back on, replacing Junaid Siddique.

Oh, extra bounce! Short of a good length and on leg again, Dewald Brevis looks to get behind the line and block but is taken aback and wears it on the gloves. South Africa end the Powerplay at 56/2.

5.5

Muhammad Jawadullah To Dewald Brevis

Just back of a length and on leg, Brevis presses back and manages to tuck it away into the on side.

DRINKS BREAK. Despite losing both openers in the Powerplay, the Proteas are in the driving seat. They need just 67 runs from 86 balls. UAE must strike regularly from here to have any chance of tightening the contest, especially given South Africa’s deep batting lineup. Dewald Brevis walks in at number 4. This is a perfect opportunity for him to get some runs behind his name before the Super Eights. He has got the starts but hasn't quite been able to convert them into big scores or stay at the crease for long.

5.4

Muhammad Jawadullah To Quinton de Kock OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Slashed away to the fielder in the deep and de Kock's sluggish start comes to an end. Shortish length once again from Muhammad Jawadullah, enticing the batter to go after it. Quinton de Kock gets on the front foot but ends up slicing it up and over the infield. Syed Haider at deep backward point gobbles it up and de Kock walks back for just 14 (16).

5.3

Muhammad Jawadullah To Ryan Rickelton

Back of a length, tighter line around off this time, dabbed away through the gully region for a single.

5.2

Muhammad Jawadullah To Ryan Rickelton

FOUR! Up and over this time. Short of a length again, outside off, Rickelton gets up on his toes and angles it over short third, beating the man at deep backward point well to his right for another boundary.

5.1

Muhammad Jawadullah To Ryan Rickelton

FOUR! Through the gap. Short and wide, a real loosener, Ryan Rickelton reaches for it and taps it down firmly to the left of point and gets it through for a boundary. 50 UP FOR SOUTH AFRICA.

Muhammad Jawadullah is brought into the attack, replacing Dhruv Parashar.

4.5

Junaid Siddique To Quinton de Kock

Another dot and QDK hasn't managed to rotate strike at all so far. Junaid comes over the wicket and hits the good length on off, angling it away. De Kock shapes up for the heave but is beaten by the pace and bounce.

4.4

Junaid Siddique To Quinton de Kock

A slower bumper, well short and outside off. De Kock leaves it in hopes of a wide but won't get the call from the square leg umpire.

4.3

Junaid Siddique To Quinton de Kock

FOUR! Slammed away through point! Short and wide outside off, QDK backs away and hammers it square and the ball races away to the fence in a flash.

4.2

Junaid Siddique To Quinton de Kock

Hard length around middle, QDK looks to tap and run but gets an inside edge and nearly chops it back onto the stumps.

4.1

Junaid Siddique To Quinton de Kock

Oh, that's zipped past the outside edge. Junaid uses the angle from around the wicket and slants it back in and then gets it to straighten a touch outside off. Quinton de Kock has a poke at it but is well beaten.

Again sticks into the surface! A half-tracker, just outside off, QDK's one hand comes off as he pulls it past mid-wicket for a run.

Looped up, outside off, holds a bit into the surface. Rickelton hits it uppishly and to long off for a single.

3.1

Simon Doull on air mentions that this is the first wicket for a UAE spinner in this T20 World Cup. Ryan Rickelton walks in at number 3. And a change of ends for Dhruv Parashar. He replaces Junaid Siddique.

Aiden Markram loses his shape as he tries to launch it down the ground. The ball goes past his inside edge and clips the leg pole. Smartly bowled. A quick fire 28 off 11 balls for the Proteas skipper.

2.5

FOUR! Very cheeky from Markram! Shorter delivery, outside off, Aiden Markram plays it deliberately late, cuts it past short third for a boundary.

1.5

Junaid Siddique To Quinton de Kock

Length ball, around off from around the wicket. Quinton de Kock gets on top of the bat and drops it to point.

Ah, some extra bounce! Shorter and around off. Aiden Markram is surprised as he taps off the sticker of the bat, behind point for one.

Junaid Siddique To Aiden Markram

FOUR! That is a gift for Markram! Junaid Siddique drifts in a fuller delivery, down leg as he looks for some swing. Aiden Markram tickles it down past short fine leg and it races to the fence.

Very tidy from Dhruv in the opening over. And here's UAE best bowler this World Cup. Junaid Siddique to operate from the opposite end.
