Live cricket score - South Africa vs West Indies, Match 18, Super 12, T20 World Cup 2021

That's that! South Africa beat West Indies by 8 wickets in Dubai for their first win in the tournament.West Indies, meanwhile, have slipped to their second consecutive loss. They will be disappointed with that outing. They struggled with the bat, especially Simmons, who took 35 balls for his 16. That sucked out the momentum in the batting, despite Evin Lewis racing away to a 32-ball 50. Once he fell, the middle order struggled against South African bowlers' astute variations.

In the chase, Bavuma fell in the first over, but Hendricks and van der Dussen ensured it didn't hurt them too much, reviving the innings with a brilliant 57-run stand for the second wicket. Hendricks fell, but Markram was the man they needed who finished the job in clinical fashion, racing away to a 25-ball 50 - the fastest so far in the tournament. West Indies' bowlers were clueless and were out of the chase sooner than it was completed. South Africa chased down the required 144 with 10 balls to spare.
