South Africa banish semifinal jinx with 9-wicket win over Afghanistan to enter final

Tarouba, 27/6: South Africa exorcised their agonising semifinal jinx through an exceptional spell of pace bowling as they walloped an emotionally drained Afghanistan by nine wickets to enter their first-ever T20 World Cup final here.
