In the Twenty20 World Cup Cricket at Bridgetown, South Africa beat New Zealand by 13 runs in a Group E Super Eight stage match. For South Africa, De Villiers played sensibly while Albie Morkel bulldozed the Kiwis attack to all parts of the ground during his 18-ball knock to share 72 runs off just 38 deliveries for the fourth wicket and propel South Africa to 170 for four.Chasing 171 for victory, New Zealand batters found themselves in trouble against the disciplined South African attack, which was backed by some extraordinary fielding and eventually could manage 157 for seven. Earlier, England defeated defending champions Pakistan by six wickets in the first Group-E Super Eight stage match. Chasing a winning target of 147, England achieved the target in 19.3 overs.Today, India will meet Australia and hosts West Indies will take on Sri Lanka in Bridgetown.
