West Indies are out of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup. On a night interrupted by showers in Antigua, it was the self-titled Rainbow Nation that shone in the end as South Africa emerged with a three-wicket win—with five balls to spare. Allrounder Roston Chase starred with bat and ball …

“From the outside, we told our guys someone will have to play a blinder (because of how the pitch could be due to inclement weather),” said West Indies captain Rovman Powell. “We always believe individual brilliance is needed.” Batter Sherfane Rutherford did not disappoint with a superb counter-attacking half-century while …
