Fazalhaq Farooqi to Quinton de Kock, FOUR! Nicely played! Fazalhaq Farooqi in search of some swing begins with a full delivery but bowls it too straight, and shapes it in, Quinton de Kock picks it up off his pads and flicks it beautifully through mid-wicket for the first boundary of the chase.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Quinton de Kock, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Fazalhaq Farooqi strikes the first blow! This is exactly what Afghanistan wanted here. 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.

Fazalhaq Farooqi to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Good shot! Fazalhaq Farooqi takes pace off again and serves this full, outside off, Reeza Hendricks waits for it this time and drills it through cover-point for a boundary.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Streaky and these will hurt Afghanistan a lot! Hard length and around off, nips back in sharply and with extra bounce, Aiden Markram tries to play at it but gets an inside edge as the ball rolls away to the fine leg fence for a boundary.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Nothing streaky about this one! Naveen-ul-Haq bowls this on a good length and just outside off, Aiden Markram takes a half-stride out, opens the face of his bat, and drives it on the up with perfect timing as the ball zips past covers like a tracer-bullet for another boundary.

Rashid Khan to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Hendricks says, Thank You! Rashid Khan serves a juicy half-volley around off, Reeza Hendricks plants his front foot ahead and clears the 30-yard circle going inside out over covers for a cracking boundary. End of the mandatory Powerplay and South Africa are 34/1.

Gulbadin Naib to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Pulled away powerfully! Short in length, and on the top of the off and middle, Aiden Markram stands tall, rides on the bounce and pulls it using his wrists over mid-wicket for a boundary.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Aiden Markram, FOUR! In a hurry now! Gloriousness written all over it! Offers more width on the back of a length, Aiden Markram hits it on the rise and gets it over mid off for a boundary.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Reeza Hendricks, SIX! Just beyond the ropes and the scores are level now! Azmatullah Omarzai bangs it short and it rises up with the bounce on the bodyline, Reeza Hendricks bends a bit and manages to pull it all the way over deep square leg for a six. Also, that brings up the 50-run partnership between these two batters.

Azmatullah Omarzai to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! DONE AND DUSTED! SOUTH AFRICA IS HEADING TO BARBADOS FOR THEIR FIRST-EVER T20 WORLD CUP FINAL! This is bowled full in length, and angles on the off stump, Reeza Hendricks presents the full flourish of the willow and drives it downtown past mid off for a boundary to seal the deal. 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. And it was just not meant to be for Afghanistan.
