The Brit Oval: South Africa beat West Indies by 20 runs.
South Africa took a big step towards securing their place in the World Twenty20 semi-finals with victory over West Indies at The Oval.
Herschelle Gibbs hit 55 as the South Africa, put into bat by West Indies skipper Chris Gayle, posted 183 for seven from their 20 overs.
In reply, West Indies lost big-hitter Gayle and Dwayne Bravo, the hero of last night's win over India, but Lendl Simmons led the chase with a sparkling innings.
However, when Simmons departed for 77, so did the West Indies' chances as South Africa, who beat England in their first Super Eight game, triumphed by 20 runs.
Teenage fast bowler Wayne Parnell was the undoubted star of the South Africa attack with four wickets for 13 runs.
