The ICC Men's T20 World Cup semi-finals kick off tonight with a game between South Africa and Afghanistan. The two teams compete to determine who will advance to finals this weekend. We'll show you everything you need to know about how to watch South Africa vs. Afghanistan.
Both South Africa and Afghanistan enter the semi-finals with strong track records at the 2024 tournament so far. Since the group stages began, South Africa hasn't lost a game, even defeating defending champions England in a Super 8 match-up. Afghanistan, too, has had a solid showing. They were beaten once by the West Indies in the group stages and once by India in the Super 8, but they persevered over Australia and Bangladesh to progress to the semis. Neither South Africa nor Afghanistan has made it to the T20 World Cup final before, so advancement from the semis would be historical for either team.
The victor of tonight's game will go on to compete against the winner of tomorrow's India vs. England game in the finals, and the watch options we highlight below will also work for that game. You can bookmark our T20 World Cup hub for info on future game times and standings.
