West Indies beat South Africa by three runs in the group 1 match, almost knocking the pre-tournament group favourites out of the contest.

 

Chasing a modest total of 122, Marlon Samuels (43 from 44 balls) and Johnson Charles (32 of 35 balls) guided the former champions to a win 19.4 overs with three wickets in hand.

 

Most of the funny moments and entertainments came during the South African innings.

 

It was started by none other than Chris Gayle when he dismissed Rilee Rossouw, with a typical Gayle dance.
