SOUTH AFRICA retained their chokers tag after their defeat by Pakistan in the first semi- final of the T20 world cup 2009. Shahid Afridi smashed 51 runs from 34 balls and then successfully grabbed two wickets for 16 runs. Afridi, was declared man of the match for his brilliant performance and all rounder effort. For South Africa, Veteran Jacques Kallis with 64 from 54 balls and JP Duminy 44 from 39 balls tried their best to reach the target of 150 set by the Pakistani cricket team but were unable to do so. Umar Gul yet again came with an economical spell, the death overs and just gave 19 of three overs for Pakistan.
