AFG vs SA T20 World Cup: South Africa hold nerves to snatch win over Afghanistan in Double Super over epic

AFG vs SA T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Meanwhile, SA captain Markram said, “It's quite hard to sum that all up. Tough competition - teams put you under immense pressure. And when you start putting yourselves under pressure, life gets hard. Grateful for the win and the points. Ultimately in Super Overs you're picking your most confident guys. Lungi didn't miss by much in the first over but they still got a good score. Same story with Kesh. Tough being a spinner. Still backed him. I said to the boys it's a decent target but we're going to scrap."

"Wasn't 100 percent comfortable with it, thought we left a few out there. There's areas we can improve. Small little phases, and it adds up to a lot in this format. That is the positive you take from a game like this, you need to win games like this. Important to get a really good start in this format and that's exactly what they did for us. Two of them batted really nicely, taking the game on.”

AFG vs SA T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Meanwhile, Afghan skipper Rashid Khan said, "The boys did an amazing job, especially with the way they started with the bat. To restrict them under 190 was amazing. So so unlucky to be part of losing team. Gave everything on the ground. This wicket is good, played a lot in IPL on this wicket. Discussion with the team was "yes they had a good start but try to restrict them in last 10 overs". Amazing innings, that's what he's famous for. In the last couple of overs in the powerplay where we lost quick wickets put him on the back foot."

"Overall he played amazing. We had our opportunities. In the last Super Over as well, 1 ball 5 runs could go anyway. Could've been smarter. One dive, one ball could've finished it. Work hard for the last one and a half years for this game to go to the next round. Very disappointing. Any time you're representing your country is a proud moment. Will try my best to keep them as up as possible."

AFG vs SA T20 World Cup LIVE Score: Speaking after the match, Ngidi said, “I've lost so much weight today. Never been that stressed in my life in a cricket game. Happy to come out on the winning side. I knew I was probably going to be the option (for the Super Over). Captain said to keep doing the same. Did the same with the slower balls but didn't come off in the Super Over. With the way they were going I knew they were going to keep attacking us (in the powerplay), brought the slower ball into play. Message (from SA batters) was that the slower balls into the wicket was gripping. Captain said it was going to be a scrap but I didn't know it was going to be that much of a scrap. Big part of T20 cricket (catching). Have seen in a couple of earlier games that dropped catches can cost the game.”
