Afghanistan suffered a humiliating defeat in the T20 World Cup semi-final, bowled out for a record-low 56 runs against South Africa. Winning the toss, Afghanistan opted to bat but faced a fierce South African bowling attack at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad. The team collapsed, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz dismissed for a duck and Ibrahim Zadran and Gulbadin Naib following soon after. Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada led the South African bowling charge, exposing Afghanistan's batting frailties. This defeat marks the lowest team total in T20 World Cup semi-final history, a dismal end to Afghanistan's campaign.
