  • With the openers set, Afghanistan's spin rotation built a 114-run partnership, and Rashid Khan then removed the dangermen in three balls.
  • Tied at 17 each, the first Super Over ended tied before South Africa scored 23 in the second while Afghanistan lost a wicket, leaving Rahmanullah Gurbaz needing four sixes.
  • South Africa moved to two wins in Group D to be placed second behind New Zealand, while a late run-out denied Afghanistan a famous victory on Wednesday.
  • At the world's biggest cricket stadium, Ahmedabad, David Miller and Marco Jansen helped South Africa finish strongly as Afghanistan bowlers pulled things back from a potential 200-plus total.
