In the first semi-final of the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, Afghanistan's batting unit struggled profoundly against South Africa, as they collapsed for just 56 runs. Chasing this target, South Africa lost their first and only wicket in the 2nd over of their innings.

The incident occurred when Quinton de Kock was dismissed spectacularly. Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled one that swung back in, pitched full, and closer to the off stump line. 

De Kock stepped forward for a big heave to the leg side, missed the ball completely as it shaped back in, went through the bat and pad and cleaned up the off stump.

South Africa continued their dominant performance in the Men's T20 World Cup to seal their berth for the grand finale with a thumping nine-wicket win against dark horse Afghanistan.

Earlier in the match, Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan won the toss and decided to bat first, in the hope of putting a big score on the board. 

Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada foiled those plans in the powerplay, with Tabraiz Shamsi and Anrich Nortje joining the action later to bundle the Afghan side out for just 56 in the 12th over.
