Drama in the final over! Noor Ahmed is caught on first ball off last over but it turns out to be a no-ball. Then a wide follows and Noor Ahmed eventually dispatched one for six. After couple of ball, Kagiso Rabada bowls another no-ball. Afghanistan needed 2 runs off 3 balls but they try to finish it on the fourth ball, pushed for a double and in the process Fazalhaq is run-out. So, the match ends in a tie. Super Over to follow.

Afghanistan need 13 runs from the final over but they are nine down. Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman were dismissed in the penultimate over. Noor Ahmed struck a six in that over and he will be on strike for the last over. Afghanistan pin their hope on Noor.

Afghanistan need 24 more runs to win from last two overs now. Azmatullah Omarzai was caught near long-on boundary and that put South Africa back in the contest.

Afghanistan need 30 more runs to win from three overs now. Rashid Khan comes out to bat at fall of Mohammad Nabi's wicket and he has quickly got in the groove with three boundaries. 

We are down to last five overs now and Afghanistan need 49 more runs to win. This is still achievablem but they need to bat well. The 14th over fetched 12 runs for Afghanistan as the required run-rate is under 10 runs per over now. Mohammad Nabi and Azmatullah Omarzai have their task cut out now. 

South Africa have not only broken the partnership but picked another wicket as well. Both Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Darwish Rasooli are back in the hutch now and Afghanistan have lost half the side. The required run-rate has now gone up to 9.57 with Afghanistan needed 67 off 42 balls.

Eight overs remaining and Afghanistan need 74 runs to win. The partnership between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Darwish Rasooli is now worth 62 off 40 balls.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz has completed his half-century and he holds key for his side. Meanwhile, Afghanistan need 104 more runs to win in 66 balls at a required run-rate of 9.45 runs per over.

End of Powerplay overs and South Africa have fought their way back. After a superb start, Afghanistan have lost three quick wickets. And they have managed to just add one run to the total. Lungi Ngidi picked two in one over and then Kagiso Rabada picked a wicket as well. Rahmanullah Gurbaz holds key for his side and now giving him company is Darwish Rasooli.

Good start this for Afghanistan. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has smashed two fours and a six thus far while Ibrahim Zadran has'nt had much opportunity at the other end.

So, South Africa finish with 187 on board. Afghanistan will be little happy with their effort in the end. At one stage, it looked like South Africa will go past 220-run with Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton batting. But Rashid Khan and Co pulled things back to restrict proteas under 190. Do join us back for Afghanistan's chase.

Afghanistan are fighting their way back in this game. Azmatullah Omarzai strikes twice in this over. First he removed Dewald Brevis and then Tristan Stubbs. Proteas have now lost half the side.

Afghanistan have done well in last few overs and the South African scoring rate has dropped to under 10 now. Three more overs to go and if Afghanistan keep the proteas down to under 190 they will be happy with effort. David Miller and Dewald Brevis will look to score as many as possible in these death overs now.

Rashid Khan has pulled things back somewhat for his side by picking two quick wickets of Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton, both departed after scoring their half-centuries. Meanwhile, Dewald Brevis and David Miller are at the crease and both will look for the final onslaught.

Both Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton have crossed their 50-run mark and Afghanistan have no answers to their batting dominance. Runs are coming easily for South Africa as they look set to cross the 200-run mark. The current run-rate for Proteas is 10.33
