1st semi-final: South Africa vs Afghanistan | Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba

[Victor Ian]

if we lose vs eng later we all support SA in the final

Of course. Only the English would ever support England.

 

[trundler]

Had a feeling something like this could happen to Afghanistan. SA just too relentless. What a time for them to have their first big win of the tournament. Hope they go all the way.

 

[Brook's side]

agh, that's a shame to end like that.
well done for reaching the semi-final.

 

[Gob]

damp squib but satisfying. Try pulling the hamstring now cheating shits

 

[MW1304]

Feels like this has been building for a couple of years now, well done SA! Think they'll be confident in the final now and super hard to beat.

 

[Zinzan]

Just watched the replay, and it was the absolute drubbing I expected & predicted yesterday.

SA will now be praying that England upset India.

well done for reaching the semi-final.

Just think how one sided it would have been if Australia had somehow scraped through.

 

[number11]

Glad the Saffers won. Hopefully the boys get past India today to set up the final. If England don't make it, I will root for SA.

 

[FBU]

Extras top scored for Afghanistan 13.

 

[chris.hinton]

Afghanistan played one match too many. Even South Africa couldn't bottle that score

They will bottle the final

This was coming for the Afghans. We smoked them in our group match.

 

[Himannv]

Wow, highest ever finish in a WC for both South Africa and Afghanistan.

 

[Heboric]

This was coming for the Afghans. We smoked them in our group match.

It was a possibility, I watched the highlights of the games they played against Australia and New Zealand before the semi and those two teams dropped a hell of a lot of catches. So if they came across a side that fielded well and took all there chances well...

Afghanistan should have made a few tactical changes to the batting..

Nabi, Omarzai and Naib all bat in the top 7 , should have picked 2 extra batters like Najibullah and Ishaq

I would have split the openers after the BD game and open with Rashid Khan ..

So 1.Rashid Khan 2.Gurbaz 3.Ibrahim 4.Omarzai 5.Najibullah 6.Nabi 7.Naib 8.Ishaq (WK) 9.Kharyote 10.Naveen Haq 11.Farooqi

India should try it sometime

Might just stick to winning BG trophies in Australia.

Haven’t got anything else tbf

Well, for once we haven't lost a home series in the last 12 years. Surely some teams would had liked that instead of loosing to our B team.

Do they need anything else? I’ll make a deal where can have all the LO titles, and I’ll take bossing bossing Aus home and away over an 4-5 Test match series every two years.
