Who Won Yesterday Match T20 World Cup 2024: In Semifinal No. 1 of the T20 World Cup 2024, South Africa beat Afghanistan by 9 wickets and reached the first-ever World Cup final in its history. This match was played at the Brain Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, where Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat on a tricky track. This decision by Rashid Khan proved to be a blunder, as the pitch in this match turned out to be a hard-to-bat wicket that had unpredictable bounce and pace. South African bowlers took full advantage of this and bundled out the Afghan batting line-up on just 56 runs in 11.5 overs. The 57-run target was just a formality for the Proteas to reach their first-ever cricket world cup final, which they completed in 8.5 overs by losing only one wicket.
