West Indies Masters beat South Africa Masters by 29 runs to qualify for the semifinals of the International Masters League (IML) 2025. Lendl Simmons (108), skipper Brian Lara (29) and later Chadwick Walton (38 not out) helped their team reach 200/5 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium. Jacques Kallis and Jacques Rudolph steadied the innings with a crucial 78-run stand, reigniting South Africa’s hopes of a successful chase. Makhaya Ntini infused life back into the contest by ending Simmons’ 59-ball knock, laced with 13 fours and five massive sixes, and new man Ashley Nurse off consecutive deliveries. The Proteas eventually ended on 171/8 after losing three wickets in the final over of the match. The match was played in front of a crowd of 6,000 at the National Cricket Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago. The final will be held at the same venue on March 14.
