England v South Africa - ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014
De Villers' knock helped South Africa to qualify for the semi-finals of the 2014 World T20

South Africa's final Super 10 game of the 2014 World T20 was against England. The Proteas needed a win to confirm their place in the semi-finals while England needed a win to stay alive in the competition.

Chittagong was the venue for the match and England won the toss, putting South Africa to bat first.

The Proteas were off to a good start thanks to Hashim Amla's 56. DeVilliers came in to bat following Amla's dismissal. South Africa's run rate was just above 8 when ABD came in to bat.

However, de Villiers played some wonderful shots to elevate the team's run rate and mesmerize the spectators. Mr.360 was dealing mainly in boundaries and a good number of them came through the point region. He did smash three magnificent sixes- one straight down the ground, one over long on and one over midwicket.

de Villiers remained unbeaten on 69 from 28 deliveries and South Africa's score was 196/5.

England put up a strong fight but fell three runs short of the total. South Africa were through to the semis and England were out.

de Villiers was adjudged the Man of the Match for his effort.
