Co-host the West Indies also lost it first match in the Super Eight stage Wednesday, beaten by eight wickets by defending champion England. “Pretty happy with the performance as a whole," South Africa captain Aiden Markram said. It was the West Indies’ first loss of the tournament and their first defeat in eight Twenty20 internationals. The West Indies started well but were disrupted in the six-over power play by the loss of Brandon King who retired hurt after 4.3 overs with a side or groin strain. You can see they had clear plans and executed them well,” West Indies captain Rovman Powell said.
