South Africa secured a thrilling victory over Nepal in the T20 World Cup 2024, thanks to a stunning spell of bowling by Tabraiz Shamsi.

The Proteas, chasing a modest 119 for victory, found themselves in a tight spot at 72/5, with the required run rate steadily climbing. However, a brilliant display of spin bowling from Shamsi turned the tide in South Africa’s favor.

Shamsi, operating with a mix of leg-breaks and googly, sent shockwaves through the Nepal batting lineup, picking up an incredible 4 wickets for just 11 runs. His economical spell, coupled with some crucial contributions from the lower order, guided South Africa to victory with six wickets and seven balls to spare.

The highlights of the match:

Shamsi’s 4-wicket haul was the star of the show, dismantling the Nepal batting order.
Nepal, despite a strong start, couldn’t build a substantial total.

The win strengthens South Africa’s position in the tournament, while Nepal faces an uphill battle to progress.

This clash was a testament to the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket, where individual brilliance can sway the momentum of a match. Shamsi’s magic spell was the defining factor, showcasing the power of spin bowling in the shortest format. With this victory, South Africa will be hoping to carry this momentum forward in the upcoming encounters.
