NO MORE 'C' WORD

While the national cricket team have two more matches to win if they want to lift their maiden global trophy, all-rounder Marco Jansen believes they have already shaken off the "chokers" tag which the squad has carried for decades.

After seven matches at the T20 World Cup, the unbeaten Proteas have booked their place in the semifinals of the biennial spectacle for the first time since 2014.

They will face Afghanistan, one of the surprise packages of the tournament who reached the play-offs by finishing second in their Super 8 group, in Trinidad tomorrow morning (2.30am SA time). India will meet defending champions England in the other semifinal in Guyana (4.30pm).
