While reigning World champions India defeated injury-hit South Africa by 26 runs in Cardiff after posting a commanding 331 for 7, the West Indies eked out a close two-wicket win over Pakistan in a low-scoring game on Friday.

SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 67 RUNS!!!

South Africa are back in the reckoning with one victory from two games, but Pakistan will find it difficult to make it through and will need to rely on other results to make it through to the semi-finals.
