The Proteas chased down 123 with 13.2 overs remaining, showcasing their dominance in Group D. Dewald Brevis's 36 off 25 balls and Ryan Rickelton's 30 anchored the chase, while Alishan Sharafu's 45 (38) nearly powered UAE to a competitive total.

The match, delayed by rain, saw UAE finish at 122-6, with Sharafu falling short of a second half-century. South Africa's perfect group record (4-0) contrasts with UAE's solitary win against Canada. With Aiden Markram's 28 and George Linde's 3-12, the Proteas' preparation for the knockout stages appears strong.
