South Africa continued their perfect run at the T20 World Cup with a dominant nine-wicket victory over West Indies in Ahmedabad. Captain Aiden Markram led the charge with an unbeaten 82 off 46 balls, guiding the Proteas to 177-1 in just 16.1 overs after restricting West Indies to 176-8.

West Indies' innings was rescued by a remarkable 89-run partnership between Romario Shepherd (52 not out) and Jason Holder (49), who lifted their team from 83-7 to a defendable total. However, South Africa's openers made light work of the chase, with Markram and Quinton de Kock putting on 95 runs in eight overs. Ryan Rickelton added 45 not out to complete the comprehensive win.

This victory extends South Africa's unbeaten streak to six games and puts them in prime position to top Group 1 in the Super 8s. With a win against Zimbabwe on Sunday, the Proteas could secure their spot in the semi-finals. The West Indies now face co-host India in their next crucial encounter.
