Tabraiz Shamsi feels the Proteas are now "looking forward" to tight matches after qualifying for the T20 World Cup semi-final following a thrilling win against hosts West Indies.
The Proteas survived the rain and a late comeback from the West Indies to edge the hosts by three wickets in Antigua on Sunday.
