West Indies qualified for the semi-finals of the 2016 World T20, beating South Africa by three wickets with just two balls to spare in a thrilling contest in Nagpur. George Brett Jersey . Marlon Samuels hit a run-a-ball 44 that seemed to be taking the West Indies to victory, chasing 123, but the West Indies lost wickets at regular intervals and when Imran Tahir (2-13) took two wickets in two balls in the 17th over, the match seemed to have swung in South Africas favour.Samuels himself fell in the penultimate over, with 10 still needed from seven to win, but Carlos Brathwaite (10no) smashed a huge six over midwicket off the second ball of Kagiso Rabadas final over as the West Indies ultimately got home.Chris Gayle starred but with the ball, his 2-17 helping restrict South Africa to 122-8 and bettering his two-ball stay at the crease with the bat. West Indies Chris Gayle (left) celebrates after dismissing Rilee Rossouw South Africa were 47-5 at one stage, with Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis, Rilee Roussow, AB de Villiers and David Miller all dismissed for 10 or fewer, after West Indies won the toss and elected to field first.Amla was run out third ball and it quickly got worse for South Africa as skipper Du Plessis picked out Sulieman Benn at mid-off off Andre Russell (2-28), and Gayle grabbed the wicket of Rossouw, in the second and third overs.Dwayne Bravo (2-20) then picked up the key wicket of De Villiers, for 10, and Gayle added the scalp of Miller, both bowled. Quinton de Kock (47) continued his fine form, putting on 50 for the sixth wicket with David Wiese (28) to somewhat recover things, but just as the former was nearing his own personal half century, he too was bowled, round his legs by Russell.Chris Morris (16no) struck Samuel Badree for back-to-back boundaries in the 17th over, but only 14 runs were added in the final three as South Africa continued to lose wickets.There was a glimmer of hope for South Africa when, after hitting his first ball for four, Gayle was bowled by a beauty from Rabada (1-38) that just clipped his off-stump.A brilliant throw from Rossouw at point accounted for Andre Fletcher, run out by a direct hit in the sixth over, but Johnson Charles (32) and Samuels batted sensibly, putting on 32 for the third wicket. Gayle was bowled after scoring just four runs Charles launched Aaron Phangiso for a 106-metre six over midwicket in the 11th over as West Indies seemed to be cruising, only for Charles to fall to a top-edge when attempting the same shot off Wiese (1-19) three balls later.Bravo was next to gift his wicket away an over after he and Samuels took 14 off Rabada, slapping Phangiso (1-19) straight to point, before Tahirs heroics in the 17th.Tahir started the over by dropping Samuels, but made up for it with the double-strike of Russell and Darren Sammy, bowled by his googly.With 20 needed from the final two overs, Samuels struck Morris for two fours before falling later in the over to a top-edge, but Brathwaite secured the win in the last, a result that means if England beat Sri Lanka on Saturday they too guarantee themselves a semi-final spot.Watch highlights of West Indies win over South Africa at 7.30pm and 9.30pm on Sky Sports 2.Then join us for live coverage of Englands Group 1 game with Sri Lanka from 1.30pm on Sky Sports 2 on Saturday, following New Zealands clash with Bangladesh at 9am.

Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind, but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability of no-limit Texas Hold em. Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with an Ace-King.SAN MARTIN, Calif. -- Coming off his worst year, Jeff Overton opened the new PGA Tour season on a good note. Once he finally made a putt Thursday in the Frys.com Open, Overton felt as if he couldnt miss. Over the last 11 holes at CordeValle, he made three birdie putts over 25 feet and a 20-foot eagle putt when his gamble paid off on the par-5 ninth. He finished with a tap-in birdie on the 18th for a 7-under 64 and a one-shot lead over Brian Harman. "It really helps if you can get off to a good start," Overton said. "It would be great if we can continue this thing and keep it rolling." Harman finished with back-to-back birdies from short range and had eight birdies on his round. Kyle Stanley had a 66. The group at 4-under 67 included Michael Putnam, who won the Web.com Tour money title last season to earn full status, and Brooks Koepka, the most travelled player at the Frys.com Open. This is the fourth tour Koepka has played this year. He earned his European Tour card by winning three times on the Challenge Tour. He also played a Web.com Tour event, and the Florida State alum is headed to China in two weeks for the BMW Masters. Ryo Ishikawa, who had to earn his card back at the Web.com Tour Finals, opened with a 69. Hideki Matsuyama, one of three players at the Presidents Cup last week, had a 70. The PGA Tour season is starting in October instead of January for the first time in history. The official season ends next September at the Tour Championship, although there will be a six-week break leading to the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. Officially, it was the start of the 2013-14 season Thursday. It was different from previous "season openers" in Kapalua. The temperature was struggling to climb past 50 degrees when Bryce Molder, wearing rain pants to cope with the morning chill, hit the first shot of the year. He yanked it left and nearly couldnt find it, which would have meant going back to the tee to his third short. The fairways werent 80 yards wide. And it wasnt a tropical 80 degrees. Jhonattan Vegas felt even worse. He was on the putting green, in the third group, when he had to use the bathroom. He thought he had plenty of time. He was wrong. Vegas was a few seconds later to the tee box, meaning a two-shot penalty. His first swing of the new season technically was for birdie from 412 yards away. He made par, plus two shots for a double bogey. "I was just caught off guard," he said. "It never crossed my mind I would be late to the tee. I made a mistake and I paid the price. Its not an eeasy way to start the year" He opened with a 76. Salvador Perez Jersey. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., was the top Canadian at 72. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., and Ottawas Brad Fritsch each carded 73 and Calgarys Stephen Ames struggled to a round of 5-over 76. Overton, who remains the only American to play in the Ryder Cup without ever having won on the PGA Tour, had a year in which just about everything went wrong. He didnt play in any of the majors for the first time since 2007. He was disqualified from Colonial when he thought he could use a training aid to practice putting when there was a delay at the turn. He opened with a 69 in the John Deere Classic and had to withdraw when he felt shooting pain in his right wrist. And he was the alternate who didnt get in the PGA Championship, leading to a series of angry tweets toward the PGA of America for not giving him an exemption to a guy who played in the Ryder Cup at Wales three years earlier. Overton said only that "everything is all good" when asked about his relationship with the PGA of America. He hopes the same can be said about his game this year, especially after spending the last few months moving to a stronger grip to alleviate recurring pain in his left wrist. It worked beautifully on a sunny day in the foothills south of San Jose, especially the baby cut he hit into 20 inches on the 18th. The most important shot he hit all day might have been a 6-foot putt for par on the seventh. Overton hit the ball so well on the first six holes that he had only one birdie attempt longer than 15 feet and missed everything. But he made the par putt on the seventh, and seeing the ball go into the hole was all it took to send him on his way. "Next I knew, I made everything," he said. "I saw the ball go in the hole one time, and was just chipping and putting it in -- just everything. It was just one of those days that went my way at the end." He all had a gamble pay off, hitting three-wood into the breeze from 244 yards to a green guarded by water. He aimed right and caught it perfectly with a draw, and the ball settled 20 feet away to set up eagle. DIVOTS: Nine players are still looking for their first birdie of the year. ... Alex Aragon came to the course Thursday morning as the first alternate expecting a long day of no golf. He got the word at breakfast that John Merrick had to withdraw, and he opened with a 68. ... Robert Allenby opened with a 68. It was the first time since the McGladrey Classic one year ago that he broke par in the opening round. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
