So that's all for England but they have one more game to play on Monday, against Netherlands, that's now a dead-rubber. South Africa have qualified and now have a nice rest to next Thursday or Friday for their semi-final. Tomorrow sees Pakistan play Bangladesh and Australia play India, two exciting games so tune in then, but from me, Alex Winter, it's goodbye for now...
The losing captain is Stuart Broad: "Yer we've lost by three, it's a fantastic game, credit to the players for that, we're heartbroken to come out on the wrong end but AB has taken the game away for us. It didn't go to plan in the last three overs but apart from that it was a good game for us. We've had some guys get going this innings but no outstanding score which you need chasing such a big total."
AB de Villiers is Man of the Match: "It was a great game the boys did extremely well. It's very tough conditions to field in. I knew from the start we had to be unpredictable and mix things up. But once again the execution of the bowlers was amazing. I've lost a few as captain in T20s and it was important for me to get the guys through and get Faf back pumped for the semi-finals."
A shed load of runs in this game but three more of them scored by South Africa who take the victory and qualify for the semi-finals they haven't played too well so far in this tournament but they've got the job done on three occasions, for that they can take great credit. But England are eliminated and have plenty to look back on and rue from what was, in the end, an excellent effort with the bat but they had too much to do after a terrible end to their innings with the ball. Their bowlers have lost them this game. AB de Villiers took off for South Africa at just the right time and that proved the difference in the end.
