South Africa qualified for the Super Eight stage in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and the Caribbean as the first team from Group D as the unbeaten side, winning all their four group stage matches.

Although they remained undefeated in the first round, the Proteas have not looked their best as they scraped past their opponents in all the four matches. However, they were the first team to qualify for Super 8s as the remaining teams in the group faltered.

Aiden Markram's men had sealed their Super 8 spot following a 4-run victory over Bangladesh in their third match. In the opener, the Proteas bundled out Sri Lanka for 77, but stuttered on their way to the target on a challenging New York surface.

The results against Netherlands also was not straightforward as the Proteas needed David Miller's fighting knock to chase down a meagre 104 at the same New York venue, where they also beat Bangladesh.

Their final game against Nepal was a thriller as they sealed a 1-run victory over minnows Nepal when defending a total of 115. South Africa, however, had confirmed their spot in Group 2 of the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 even before that huge escape.
