Let us tell you that in this match, South Africa defeated Afghanistan by 9 wickets and qualified for the T20 World Cup final for the first time. However, this match was a low scoring one, which did not give the impression that it was a T20 World Cup semi-final match. Afghanistan, who won the toss and elected to bat first, were bowled out for just 56 runs in 11.5 overs. This is also the lowest score made by any team in a T20 World Cup semi-final.

However, after the match ended, there is a constant discussion in the cricket world about the quality of the pitch. So now a big statement has come from South African captain Aiden Markram regarding this. Markram says that he is happy that now he will not have to play on this pitch again, because the final match will be played on June 29 at Providence Stadium, Guyana. Aiden Markram gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the match between South Africa and Afghanistan ended, during the post-match, Markram said- Broadly speaking, you all want entertainment in T20 cricket. Throughout the tournament, we got wickets that were quite challenging. The wicket of today’s match was also quite challenging. It is difficult to say that the wicket is not good because it cannot always be a batsman’s game, but I am happy that now we will not play here again.

It was challenging to bat, no batsman would lie and tell you it was easy. We had a bit of luck and then we had a few partnerships. We have had some close matches and some people at home would have woken up with grey hair early. Glad to have had a bit more rest today.” On South Africa playing the World Cup final for the first time, Markram said that we have not got such an opportunity before. There is nothing to be afraid of. Markram further said, “This is another step for us, this is an opportunity that we have never got before, there is nothing to be afraid of.
