T20 World Cup 2024: South Africa produced a defence for the ages, as they successfully defended the target of 113 against Bangladesh in a thrilling match. The Proteas managed to restrict Bangaldesh on 109, thereby, registering a 4-run win and with the win, they have now 3 wins out of their 3 matches in the tournament. Heinrich Klassen was the true architect of South Africa's win, as his vital 46 helped the Proteas cross the 100-run mark.
South Africa have beocme the first side to register 3 wins in the T20 World Cup 2024, yet, they are not officially qualified for the knockout stages. This does indicate for the fact that T20 World Cup 2024 is indeed, an equally-contested mega event where any probability remains possible.
