Brutal exit: SA beats England in the T20 but fails to qualify for semi-finals

Looking at a related article, Briefly News published that in an exciting T20 match South Africa performed well, only losing two wickets while making 189 runs. This was enough to defeat England who only managed to make 179 and lost eight wickets in the process.

Despite this impressive victory, it was not enough for South Africa who crashed out of the T20 World Cup. South Africa won four out of its five matches, a truly brutal exit.

The Proteas' nett run rate was not high enough, the team had equalised with Australia in games won but in the end, South Africa had simply not scored enough runs in previous matches.
