After making history yesterday, Proteas captain Aiden Markram said he was delighted with the efforts of his entire squad as they booked their place in the T20 World Cup final.
Coasting to a nine-wicket victory over Afghanistan with 67 balls to spare in their semifinal in Trinidad, the SA men's team secured their spot in a major global final for the first time.
They will face either India or defending champions England (who were set to compete in the other semifinal last night) in Barbados tomorrow afternoon (4.30pm SA time).
Having won eight matches on the trot, going unbeaten thus far at the tournament, Markram praised his teammates for a "massive squad effort".
