In a gripping Group D match of the T20 World Cup 2024, Tabraiz Shamsi's extraordinary four-wicket performance led South Africa to a nail-biting one-run victory over Nepal on Saturday (IST). Chasing a modest target of 116, Nepal remained competitive throughout the game with their batters forming solid partnerships. However, Shamsi's spell proved decisive, as the Proteas clinched the win on the final ball, restricting Nepal to 114/7.

Shamsi's contribution was well-supported by Anrich Nortje and Aiden Markram, who each claimed one wicket. On the Nepalese side, Aasif Sheikh was the standout performer with a commendable 43 runs. Despite their spirited effort, this loss means Nepal is now out of contention for the Super 8s stage.
