If you’re going to get into a T20 World Cup cricket semifinal for the first time in a decade, then do it in style by eclipsing some of the biggest hitters in the game. And that’s what the Proteas did in the early hours of yesterday morning, our time, when they clinched a nail-biting victory over the West Indies in Antigua.What was remarkable about the match was that, this time, the narrow win was against another tough opponent and followed a seven-run win against England., who took 3/27 in the Proteas attack and was named player of the match, had some interesting but encouraging things to say about the performance of his team-mates.
“If you look at the squad, there isn’t any individual you can pick and say this guy is responsible for making this team win,” Shamsi said.“There’s no pressure on any one individual. We have a lot of match-winners in the squad and on each day someone finds a way to pull the game towards the team.”
