"South Africa emerged victorious after an astonishing T20 World Cup nailbiter against Afghanistan, which ended with scores tied and a double super over. The Proteas posted 187 for six batting first but a remarkable solo assault from Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who hit 84 from 42 balls, put Afghanistan on track. Australia v Ireland: T20 World Cup live A remarkably dramatic final over from Kagiso Rabada served up two no-balls, a wide, a six from tailender Noor Ahmad and Fazalhaq Farooqi's careless run out to leave scores tied."
"Unbelievably, the first super over of this year's tournament could not separate the sides as Lungi Ngidi shipped 17 for South Africa, only for Farooqi to do the same as Tristan Stubbs launched a straight six off his last delivery. Both sides went back to the drawing board and South Africa stepped up, Stubbs and David Miller taking Azmatullah Omarzai for 23 including three sixes. Veteran spinner Keshav Maharaj just about held his nerve to close it out, continuing the all-action theme by conceding three more maximums from Gurbaz in between two wickets."
