South Africa hold off USA to win by 18 runs at T20 Cricket World Cup – as it happened

The Americans failed to chase down the second-innings total to lose the opening Super Eight match

U S A! Netravalkar strikes! Hendricks tries to smoke him down the ground but loses his shape - hand coming off the bat during the stroke. Corey Anderson clings on to a steepler. Just about. Then holds his palms out as if to say what were you worried about'?'

2nd over: South Africa 13-0 (de Kock 3, Hendricks 9) Pace man Ali Khan from t'other end with a slip in place. He's whippy and around the wicket. Action reminiscent of Fidel Edwards. de Kock is tied down somewhat, a handsome drive stopped by some excellent fielding in the ring, Shayan Jahangir with the acrobatics at backward point. No such trouble for Hendricks who steps out and swats a length ball over extra cover for SIX.
