With two more matches left, South Africa need to win one more clash to reach the quater-finals.

Despite loss against India, South Africa had posted another big win as they had defeated  257 runs against West Indies.

South Africa's Amla and Faf du Plessis   had added 247 runs in the second wicket partnership which helped them post the massive total on the scorecard.
