South Africa will face either England or India in the final.

South Africa captain Aiden Markram said competing in the nation’s first T20 World Cup final is “nothing to be scared of” following his side’s nine-wicket semi-final victory over Afghanistan.

The result put an end to South Africa’s run of seven straight semi-final exits in World Cup competitions. “One more step, it’s an exciting challenge for us. We’ve never been there before but it’s nothing to be scared of. It’s an opportunity that we’ve never had and we’ll be really excited about it. “Obviously there are external pressures but we’re trying to keep it simple and that should give us a good chance.”“We might have done a bit better than that. But the conditions didn’t let us,” he said.
