Final Standings in Group 2

South Africa and England have qualified for the semi-finals.

England became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals with a commanding 10-wicket win over the USA on Sunday, June 23. Spinner Adil Rashid and hat-trick hero Chris Jordan restricted USA to 115 in 18.5 overs before skipper Jos Buttler smashed quick-fire 83 to seal a 10-wicket win for England. As the USA were dismissed for just 115 in Barbados and defending champions England chased their target in just 9.4 overs meaning they confirmed their semi-final berth.

South Africa have won yet another tight one and secured progression to the knockout stages of the tournament, entering the final four unbeaten. They scraped home against a spirited West Indies side that never gave in, sealing victory with five balls to spare and running out of batting options.
