South Africa maintains their unbeaten merry way in this tournament winning the first semifinal by 9 wickets. Happy emotional faces all around the South African camp.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Aiden Markram
BEATEN! Pulls his length back a bit around off, angles in, and then straightens after hitting the deck, Aiden Markram goes for the drive on the up but misses as Rahmanullah Gurbaz collects it behind the stumps. Rashid Khan thinks that there is an edge but he gets no support from the others. Oh...wow! The spin maestro was right here as UltraEdge shows a spike when the ball passes the bat. Afghanistan misses out there! South Africa could've been 6/2 had they gone upstairs for this one. Distraught faces in the Afghan camp, and rightly so!

This one is pitched up and on middle, shaping in nicely, Quinton de Kock skips down the track to slog it across the line but plays all over it as the ball goes through to shatter the stumps. Good set up by Farooqi and QDK falls cheaply here.

Halt! Aiden Markram calls for a new bat as this one gets stung on the bottom. It dramatically stood low on the bounce, and Markram is evidently not happy with the way it hit the toe-end. He selects the new bat and is ready to continue.

Right then, that it is it from this one-sided 1st Semi-Final where South Africa after all their historic struggles have finally made it to an ICC World Cup final. It was heartbreak for Afghanistan but they have had a special journey in this tournament. Now, it is time to find out who will face the Proteas in the big finale. The 2nd Semi-Final between India and England will start on 27th June, Thursday at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT), but as you know, you can always join us early for all the build-up to the match. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
