Win over England not enough to see SA through to semifinals
Proteas coach Mark Boucher is disappointed by the team's failure to qualify for the T20 World Cup semi-final. Picture: SUPPLIED
Though they won the match, the Proteas were not able to sneak into the knockout stages ahead of Australia, who boasted a better net run rate after they thrashed already eliminated West Indies by eight wickets earlier in the day. “Unfortunately we couldn’t control other results out there, but we did the job against England by beating them.”
“We looked at getting 160, but 130 to 140 could have been competitive, so we could have done better there. Chasing a small total against Bangladesh, people may look at that match and say maybe we should have gone a bit harder there, but that was the intention.
