New Delhi [India], June 27 (ANI): Former batter AB de Villiers is proud of the South Africa team as they reached the final of the T20 World Cup after hammering Afghanistan and said it was a special gift to their iconic pacer Dale Steyn on his birthday.
South Africa finally broke the semi-final jinx and stormed into their maiden final of the ICC tournament. They demolished the Rashid Khan-led side by restricting them to 56 and chasing down the total within nine overs.
"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 said, in a video he posted on his X channel.
