Markram Leads SA to Unbeaten Nine-Wicket Win Over West Indies in T20 World Cup

South Africa chased 177 with 23 balls to spare as Aiden Markram’s 82 not out off 46 and a 95‑run opening stand with Quinton de Kock set up a comfortable win, keeping SA unbeaten and two points clear atop Group 1 in the 2026 T20 World Cup Super 8s; Ryan Rickelton’s 45* finished the chase. West Indies fought back late, with Romario Shepherd and Holder combining for an 89‑run eighth-wicket stand to lift their total past 170, but SA’s bowlers contained the late partnership and secured a nine-wicket victory.
