AB de Villiers Celebrates South Africa’s T20 World Cup Final Entry on Dale Steyn’s Birthday

Former cricketer AB de Villiers is proud of the South Africa team for reaching their first T20 World Cup final after a dominant win over Afghanistan. He called it a special gift for their iconic pacer Dale Steyn on his birthday.

South Africa broke their semi-final jinx by restricting Afghanistan to 56 runs and chasing the target within nine overs. De Villiers shared his excitement in a video on his X channel, saying, “Well done Proteas, you have made us all proud. Onwards and upwards. Never been in the final of the World Cup, so new territory for all of us. As fans, we are right behind you guys, and we cannot wait to watch you play that final. It is a very special gift from you to Steyn on his birthday.”

De Villiers, known as Mr 360 Degree, backed the team to win the trophy, adding, “We have got your backs, and we believe that you have got what it takes to go all the way.”

Afghanistan, led by Rashid Khan, were bowled out for 56 in just 11.5 overs, marking the lowest total in T20 World Cup semi-final history and their lowest in the format.
