South Africa vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup Live Score: South Africa break the semi-final jinx!
South Africa vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup Live Score: With a ruthless display of dominance and explosive fast bowling, South Africa advance to the ICC final. Afghanistan were obviously affected by their two emotionally taxing victories over Australia and Bangladesh, and it's possible that they were overwhelmed by the occasion. The innings never got underway as Rabada and Jansen's blistering fast bowling attack destroyed them in the powerplay. After the powerplay, Shamsi and Nortje joined in the fun, helping to bowl out Afghanistan for a mere 56 runs, the lowest total ever in a World Cup semifinal. Afghanistan's new ball bowlers responded with great effort, as Farooqi removed de Kock with a ball that nibbled back in. But the target was too small, and Markram and Hendricks found their striking zone after the first few overs were completed. In addition to the South African captain's elegant punch strokes, Hendricks concluded the game with a six and a four. In less than nine overs, the target was achieved. After a momentous campaign, it was a day to forget for Afghanistan but a historic day for South Africa.
