A belligerent bowling performance and calm from the top-order has secured South Africa’s ticket for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 final, defeating Afghanistan in the first semi-final in Trinidad. Bowling Afghanistan out for just 56, South Africa hit their straps early by claiming eight wickets inside the first 10 overs of the innings.
Player of the Match Marco Jansen (3/16 from three overs), Kagiso Rabada (2/14 from three) and Anrich Nortje (2/7 off three) barely putting a foot wrong, before Tabraiz Shamsi cleaned up the tail with figures of 3/16 in just 11 balls.
