That's all from us folks! Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Plenty of World Cup action remaining and we've the big one tomorrow - the India-Pakistan clash. Don't forget to join us for that fixture!

Here's what the Man of the Match had to say -

I really enjoyed my workout today, pleased with the way the ball came out (of my hand), I had a role to play for my team, have been working hard; really pleased with our win today. We were up for it, can't control the weather, but we made sure we maintained our intensity at the highest level, the fast bowlers set the tone; overall it was a very pleasing performance. I did get some turn, but it was more wicket-to-wicket, wasn't trying too many variations at the start, it came out well and then I tried some different variations. The celebration part are always important, it's important for us to keep winning, we are up for the challenge, we are ready to take the fight in the next match in Birmingham (against New Zealand). He (Rashid Khan) played some good shots, but I can go and tell him now that I took his wicket.









Hello and welcome to the live blog of the game between South Africa and Afghanistan in Cardiff. Both teams are struggling at the moment and cannot afford more losses.

All's not well in the South African camp after the AB de Villiers controversy and the team needs a win to bounce back. Afghanistan too are struggling because of off-field issues. Shahzad controversially sent home, the contract issue with the coach, the absence of Asghar Afghan and more has troubled the Asian side. Both teams are at the bottom of the table with their chances hanging by a thread.

Will Afghanistan surprise South Africa? Stay tuned as we bring you more updates.
