South Africa prevailed in a double super over thriller as Afghanistan came up agonisingly short of a famous victory after their T20 World Cup clash ended in a tie on Wednesday. Afghanistan were 187 all out after South Africa scored 187-6 in the Group D encounter in Ahmedabad. The teams were tied again after a breathless first super over saw them both score 18, before South Africa won off the final ball of a heart-thumping second sudden-death showdown. "There's areas we can improve," said South Africa captain Aiden Markram. South Africa pace bowler Lungi Ngidi was named player of the match after his 3-26 in four overs.
