South Africa ended their run of semi-final heartache by thrashing Afghanistan to reach their first men's T20 World Cup final.
Spinner Tabraiz Shamsi mopped up the tail with 3-6 and Jansen finished with 3-16 but questions will be asked about the state of the surface for such a showpiece event. They now progress to Saturday's final in Barbados unbeaten as they look to win a World Cup for the first time. There should be some sympathy for Afghanistan – first because of the surface but also because they were celebrating the biggest win their history less than 48 hours ago. They also had to deal with a four-hour flight delay in that time.They had come through five tight games to reach this point and have now progressed on another strange night, albeit with their top three batters carrying plenty of bruises.
Ibrahim nicked Rabada’s first delivery and three balls later the South Africa quick got the ball to seam back through the gate to bowl Mohammad Nabi.
