South Africa Stunned by England's Defence of Mere 171 Runs

CHENNAI - - What a match! An absolute thriller it was! England fought back powerfully to clinch the low-scoring thriller against powerful South Africa. With this 6 runs victory, they didn’t not only add the two points to their credit but also revitalized their quarter-final hopes. 

England bowlers came back strongly after an impressive opening stand of 63 runs provided by Hashim Amla (42) and Graeme Smith (22). The real collapse was seen at 124 runs on the board when South Africa lost three wickets including AB de Villiers (25), Faf du Plessis (17) and Jean-Paul Duminy (0). 

After the fall of top-order South African middle order failed to respond as effectively as required by the situation. I must quote here the words of Sohail Tanveer, left-arm Pakistani pacer who’s out of the world cup due to knee injury.
