NEW DELHI: South Africa created history on Monday by successfully defending the lowest total in ICC T20 World Cup history. In a thrilling Group stage game, the Proteas managed to defend a modest target of 114 runs against Bangladesh, who fell just four runs short of victory at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
This historic feat by South Africa surpassed the record set by India just hours earlier. India had defended a target of 120 runs against arch-rivals Pakistan at the same venue in their Group A T20 World Cup clash.
