CARDIFF: South Africa after all were given a World Cup win below their belts as they eased to a nine-wicket overcome Afghanistan on Saturday to keep alive their hopes of achieving the semi-finals.

Leg-spinner Imran Tahir took Four-29, engineering an Afghani cave in after a 75-minute rain ruin as they have been disregarded for 125. Chris Morris contributed with figures of 3-13 and Andile Phehlukwayo took two wickets.
The South Africans set about chasing a relatively adjusted target of 127 from 48 overs in wary fashion, achieving 131-1 with 19 overs to spare.
Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock shared a 104-run opening wicket partnership prior to De Kock was once disregarded for 68.
Amla finished on 41 no longer out and Phehlukwayo hit a six for the successful runs to end unbeaten on 17.
After three defeats and any other game known as off on account of rain, Saturday’s match was once all the time going to be a large chance for Faf du Plessis’ South Africa team to get their first win.
But they still regarded sloppy within the opening overs as Afghanistan dealt neatly with the brand new ball and have been 69-2 when the groups went off for rain.
When they came again, alternatively, they misplaced four wickets for the addition of 1 run in two overs, with Phehlukwayo taking the wicket of Mohammad Nabi and Tahir putting along with his first supply as he bowled Noor Ali Zadran for 32.
Tahir claimed a 2nd sufferer four balls later and the wickets tumbled regularly after that.
“We planned a lot for their seamers but no longer so much for him and credit score must pass to Imran for his spell. He bowled rather well in the proper spaces,” Afghanistan captain Gulbadin Naib stated.
A cameo of 35 from Rashid Khan took Afghanistan into three figures prior to he was Tahir’s fourth sufferer.
“I knew I wouldn't get it to show but I attempted to change it and get the batsmen to make errors. It came out neatly and I’m truly pleased that I performed my phase for the team,” stated Tahir after being named guy of the match.
After their deficient start to the tournament, South Africa effectively wish to win their final four fits, beginning with New Zealand in Birmingham on Wednesday, to make the last four.
