Holder and Shepherd Lift WI to 176 in T20 World Cup Clash

Holder and Shepherd Lift WI to 176 in T20 World Cup Clash

What looked like a modest total midway through the innings suddenly had teeth. In the T20 World Cup Super 8, West Indies were struggling at 83 for 7. South Africa vs West Indies seemed one-sided earlier in the first 10 overs. 

Lungi Ngidi ripped through the middle order, finishing with 3 for 30. Kagiso Rabada hit hard early. Gasps echoed around the ground as wickets kept tumbling.

Holder And Shepherd’s Counterpunch Changes the Mood

Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd refused to fold. They dug in, swung clean, and found the ropes when it mattered. Jason Holder chipped in with 49, steady yet sharp. When the scoreboard flashed 150, fans erupted.

SA vs WI first innings could have been wrapped up under 120 had the Proteas maintained their sharp, disciplined bowling. Instead, it climbed to 176 for 8. That one partnership flipped everything.

In this South Africa vs West Indies battle, the live win probability still leans heavily toward the Proteas. Yet 176 is no gift. Now, the T20 World Cup Super 8 contest feels alive again.
