Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen starred as South Africa thrashed West Indies by eight wickets in the Group 1 encounter of Super 12s in the ongoing ICC men's T20 World Cup here at the Dubai International Stadium.

South Africa chased the target of 144 with eight balls to spare as Markram and Van der Dussen played the innings of 51* and 43* respectively. Chasing 144, excellent work in the field by Russell provided exactly the start West Indies had hoped for as Temba Bavuma walked back in the first over. Hendricks and Van der Dussen then forged a 50-run stand for the second wicket as South Africa consolidate their position in the chase.
