The Temba Bavuma-led side won 4 out of 5 games in the group stage but were unable to make it to the semi-finals due to a poor net run rate. Notably, England, Australia and South Africa all had 4 wins, but England and Australia qualified for the semi-finals due to their superior net run rate.

Meanwhile, South Africa recently defeated England in their own backyard by 2-1 in the thrilling three-match T20I series. The Proteas lost the first match by 41 runs despite Tristan Stubbs’ extraordinary 72 runs knock.

After that, David Miller and Co. made a stellar comeback and won the second T20I by 58 runs and the third T20I by a huge margin of 90 runs.
