Afghanistan's campaign ends with a loss
But they can hold their heads high as they exit the World Cup. It has been a stellar campaign for them where they beat four excellent teams, but also ran the likes of Australia and South Africa close. A few results going their way and Afghanistan could well have made their way into the final four. The loss against Bangladesh might hurt them the most, but they are surely a force to reckon with going ahead.
South Africa, well they will be happy to have chase down a total, and will hope for a more clinical show against Australia in the semis.
