T20 World Cup | ‘It was bittersweet ending for us’, South Africa skipper Bavuma

England captain Eoin Morgan said England have built enough bench strength to deal with injury setbacks

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma described his side's T20 World Cup campaign as a "bittersweet" one after the Proteas crashed out of the tournament despite beating England by 10 runs in their final Super 12 match here on Saturday.

The Proteas, who had scored 189 for 2 after being sent in to bat, needed to restrict England to 131 to overtake Australia in net run rate and qualify for the semifinals but it was not to be their day.

England, Australia and South Africa ended on eight points each but the first two teams made it to the semifinals as they had better net run rate than South Africa (NRR +0.739) who were knocked out. England (NRR +2.464) topped Group 1 while Australia (NRR +1.216), who beat West Indies earlier in the day, finished second.
