POTM Rassie van der Dussen said:
"We were happy with bowling first, we would have chased anyway. We knew they are a quality bowling attack and we wanted to put ourselves in a difficult situation. There are one or two things we can tweak but happy with how the run-chase went. In any chase, there has to be someone who plays the anchor role. We had a lovely platform with Quinny and Temba giving us a solid platform and that made it easy for me. Happy to play that role tonight and we got some good partnerships in the middle, happy to get across the finish line. It’s funny when you do something so well and the other part is not so good, people say you are doing that badly. We were on the 50-50 mark in terms of chasing so we wanted to put ourselves in a difficult situation and test ourselves going forward. Going into the semi-final, this is what we wanted to do and it worked out well. We have taken a lot of learning from the last two games. Kolkata was a lot drier and a lot lower. We know what to expect going into the semi-final. Hopefully, if we get back here again, we'll put in a similar performance," Dussen said.
What a cracking game. See you all tomorrow for the double header. Goodnight!
Winning skipper Temba Bavuma said:
"My leg is sore, don;t know to what extent, it's gonna have to be fine. I had that option of coming off. I wanted to be out there with the guys. Opportunity for me to spend some time out in the middle. That's what I felt was right at that moment. Winning is a habit, we want to take that momentum through. We batted second and to get over the line in that matter, that's going to put a lot of confidence. Fantastic knock by Rassie who took ownership of the innings and guys batted around him. The wicket got better. We'll take the win, take the confidence and the momentum that comes with it. We'd like to be playing here again. We have a big hurdle that we have to get over first that is Australia in Kolkata," Bavuma said.
Losing skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi said:
"As a captain I am quite happy with our performance. We fought till the last moment in each and every game. Good learnings for us in the future. Proud of the way our batters performed in this tournament. We were struggling before this tournament. We sat together and talked about the weak point, so at the end, you saw the result how our batsmen did. That's a positive thing, looking forward to the future. Everyone knows that we have good spin department. If we go with the same momentum, we'll be a very good side. We gave a good message to the world in this tournament. We played big teams and we fought till the last moment. Australian game, it was in our hands, but it was shocking for us," Shahidi said.

Game 42 of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 will see Afghanistan (AFG) take centre stage against South Africa ,(SA) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on Friday, November 10. Afghanistan, who are still well in the race to make it to the knockout stages, will be looking to clinch a win against the Proteas and will also depend on other results if they want to secure a place in the semi-finals. The Afghan Atalans are coming into the clash on the back of a heartbreaking loss against Australia.
In what turned out to be a match for the ages, Afghanistan managed to post a total of 291 runs on the board in the first innings and even put the Men in Yellow in a precarious situation during the second innings. Notably, at one stage, the former world champions were reeling at 91/7. However, Glenn Maxwell’s mind-boggling batting masterclass saw the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side succumb to a loss.
As the clash against South Africa approaches, Afghanistan will look forward to a different result. Currently, the side sits in sixth place in the standings with eight points in just as many games. On the other hand, South Africa have already qualified for the semifinal of the ODI World Cup 2023.
Sitting in second place with 12 points in eight matches, the Proteas have been in good form in the tournament. The side will be coming into the clash on the back of a loss against the Indian team. After a minor setback, the Temba Bavuma-led side will be keen on getting back to winning ways.
