Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada struck twice each inside the powerplay to give the Proteas a dream start in their pursuit of a first major ICC final. Rabada bowled a double-wicket maiden after Jansen had made early inroads at the Kensington Oval. After a history-making effort in the Super 8, Afghanistan have proved that they are no longer the minnows of world cricket.
