The celebrations are continuing and might go all night. Gayle has started the gangnam, he is also furiously gesturing towards the camera. Sammy threw his bat away, so did Bravo. 
The rest of the team are delirious in joy, Australia slump to their 2nd straight loss, they were one of the top favourites going into the tournament. Gayle started the run riot in the only way he can, he was well supported by Dwayne Smith and Lendl Simmons. Australia struck back and looked to have the upper hand towards the final overs. Tell that to Sammy and Bravo, they were simply stunning towards the end. Starc lost his line completely and Faulkner failed to defend 12 runs from the final over. Is this the end for Australia? They now have to simply win both their last two matches and then hope for the best in terms of net run-rate. West Indies go on top of the table, although they have played one extra match.

27/Mar/2014: ICC World Twenty20: South Africa beat Holland by six runs in their Group 1 clash

Imran Tahir: Celebrates after ripping out the middle order

South Africa remain on course for the knockout stages of the ICC World Twenty20 after edging out Holland by six runs in a dramatic match in Chittagong.

The Dutch made amends for their desperate effort on Monday, when they recorded the lowest-ever T20I total of 39 against Sri Lanka, by pushing the Proteas to their limits.

However, after looking likely to pull off a major upset they slumped from 116-4 to 139 all out in chase of a 146-run target.
Ahsan Malik had recorded the best figures by a Dutchman in a Twenty20 International with 5-19 to put the shackles on the red-hot favourites.
And when Stephan Myburgh struck a half-century in guiding his side to 80-1 in reply, the Dutch were well on their way to recording a famous victory to go alongside their triumph over England at Lord's in 2009.
But after he was bowled by the part-time spin of JP Duminy the innings faltered, and despite having further opportunities to but the South Africans in their place in was Faf du Plessis' side who took the two points.
South Africa will be relieved to have escaped unscathed. They may have known it was going to be a tough day when they lost opener Quinton de Kock in the first over for nought at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. More Information click here Sky news...
