February 18, New Delhi – South Africa secured their fourth consecutive win at the T20 World Cup, defeating the United Arab Emirates by six wickets in New Delhi today.
Asked to bat, the UAE couldn't capitalize on their strong start and lost momentum. Top-order batter Alishan Sharafu scored a resilient 45, helping the UAE post a modest total of 122 for 6. South African pacer Corbin Bosch took three wickets.
Chasing a below-par 123, the Proteas benefited from quickfire knocks from captain Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, and Dewald Brevis to achieve the target in 13.2 overs and remain undefeated.
The Proteas and New Zealand have already qualified for the Super 8s from Group D; South Africa will face India in the Super 8s match on Sunday.
