Hello
An Air India special charter flight named AIC24WC is set to bring back the Indian squad, its support staff, the players' families and some board officials and Indian media, who have been stranded there for the past three days due to Hurricane Beryl.
The co-hosts needed to beat South Africa in Antigua to reach the semifinals but despite taking the rain-disrupted match down to the wire their bid for a third title came to an end in a three-wicket loss.
Left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi took 3/27 as tournament co-hosts West Indies were restricted to 135/8 in their 20 overs and, after the rain delay, the South Africans held their nerve to chase down their adjusted target of 123.
The Caribbean side bowled out the USA for 128 in the clash of the tournament co-hosts at Kensington Oval and then rattled off the target in 10.5 overs.
The meeting of the only two teams to have won the T20 World Cup twice was expected to be a run-fest and much of the credit for the win must go to the England bowlers for preventing the big-hitting locals from cutting loose.
Afghanistan fold for 114 in 16.2 over chasing a mammoth target of 219.
The second successive loss leaves the Kiwis staring at an early exit from the mega event.
West Indies, who reached 173/5 after winning the toss and electing to bat won by 134 runs, the second largest margin in T20 World Cup history.
A power-packed West Indies should have chased down the below-par total comfortably but PNG made them work hard for the win despite their limitations.
The ninth edition of the 20-overs showpiece event will run from June 1-29.
