Harry Brook's maiden half-century in the T20 World Cup has kept England's hopes alive in a thrilling match against South Africa. Despite Brook's efforts, England needed 21 runs from the last 12 balls. Kagiso Rabada's economical bowling, conceding only four runs in the 18th over, and Marco Jansen's tight penultimate over, which yielded just seven runs, left England needing 14 from the final six balls, with Nortje to bowl the final over. Ultimately, South Africa clinched victory in a nail-biting finish, leaving England agonizingly short in St Lucia.
