Van Der Dussen is the key here for SA , someone that actually isn't a bag of nerves

***Official***Match # 42- Afghanistan vs South Africa - November 10th - Ahmedabad (D/N)

- Start date
Like against Pakistan they crossed the line but we all know how they almost lost a game that was in their hands and barely made it.

Maxwell has done the cricket world a disservice. Afghanistan could have beaten any team after running through Australia as well as South Africa in back to back games.

Well yeah, they needed a comfortable chase where one of their key bats goes big. VdD the last hope for this really.
Yes but good players will absorb pressure.

More than Maxwell Afghanistan did it to themselves.
Innings full of luck, tons of chances given and when he couldn't even stand on his feet most teams would've made his life a living hell, Afghanistan give freebies in the arc where no feet movement was required..

Well Afg dropped an absolute sitter from Maxwell early. So it's their fielding that lost them that game.

He is the only one who looks the goods even under pressure. He doesn't play any needless shots unlike his teammates, who batted as if they were chasing 370 and not 271 vs Pak or 240 odd vs Netherlands & Afghanistan.

To be honest I feel the problem with the South African batting line up is that they aren't selfish enough ..
Being selfish isn't always a bad thing.
A lot of these current Proteas batsmen have a tendency to try to dominate the opposition no matter what, When things are quiet they feel they have to play a big shot to show that they are in control..This is exactly what a team defending a score wants , and every wicket that falls they grow in confidence..SA batsmen need to realise that it's okay to take a game deep.

This smells of a Kallis apologia.

This is a great match that could've been even better if not for that ridiculous choke vs Australia.

Can't be a coincidence that the only tournament we won was when Kallis was player of the tournament..

.. That's the thing though,what's there to be really nervous about?
Their semi-final spot is secured & they'll be playing Australia.Nothing can change that.
Apart from bragging rights for Afghanistan they'll remain in the tournament one way or another.

You're right. Faces stiff competition from Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone
