Following South Africa’s historic qualification for their first T20 World Cup final, several former players expressed disbelief at their former team being on the brink of winning the coveted trophy.
The Proteas dominated Afghanistan with a commanding 9-wicket victory in Trinidad to secure their place in the final. Their exceptional bowling display restricted Afghanistan to a mere 56 runs in the first innings, setting up a commanding position for South Africa.

The Proteas stand on the brink of history in this tournament, with a chance to break their long-standing title drought and potentially secure their first World Cup.
Overcoming mental barriers from past disappointments will be crucial, given South Africa’s history of stumbling in crucial final stages. Aiden Markram has exemplified exceptional leadership, whether with bat, ball, or in the field.
With many strengths in their arsenal, South Africa enters the final stages with confidence. They await the winner of the India vs England semi-final, aiming to finally end their quest for a title. The second finalist will be decided later today.
