"South Africa maintained their 100% record at the T20 World Cup after edging past Afghanistan in a dramatic second Super Over. With the scores tied - both teams making 187 in their regulation innings - the game went to a Super Over which couldn't separate them, meaning they required a second which South Africa won thanks to David Miller's 16 not out from four balls. It was a remarkable game in Ahmedabad but ended in heartbreak for Afghanistan, whose hopes of qualifying for the Super Eights from Group D are all but over."
"Having won the toss, Afghanistan restricted the Proteas to 187 for six from their 20 overs, Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton putting on 114 for the second wicket. De Kock made 59 from 41 balls and Rickelton a 28-ball 61. Azmatullah Omarzai took three for 41 and Rashid Khan two for 28 to keep South Africa in check. Afghanistan's reply got off to a rattling start, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran reaching 50 in just 3.6 overs."
South Africa maintained a perfect T20 World Cup record by defeating Afghanistan in Ahmedabad after a second Super Over. Both teams scored 187 in their 20 overs, and the first Super Over also ended tied before South Africa prevailed in the second, with David Miller unbeaten on 16 from four balls. Quinton de Kock made 59 and Ryan Rickelton 61 as South Africa posted 187 for six, while Azmatullah Omarzai and Rashid Khan took wickets. Afghanistan chased strongly with Rahmanullah Gurbaz's 84 and early impetus from Ibrahim Zadran, but late no-balls, a wide and an ill-judged run ended their hopes.
