RSA vs AFG Match Preview

South Africa has proved to be one of the most formidable teams in this tournament and has already made it to the playoffs. However, the team faced an embarrassing defeat at the hands of India last Sunday as they were bundled out for just 83 runs. South Africa will look to shake away that disappointment and look to enter the semifinals with a winning momentum.

Quinton de Kock has been excellent throughout this series and is also the leading run-scorer of the tournament. Temba Bavuma however has struggled to get going and it will be important for him to get some runs before the knockouts.

South Africa has one of the most destructive middle orders, thanks to batsmen like Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen, and David Miller. All of them have batted well in this tournament and are capable of helping the team to get to a huge total.

Marco Jansen is in excellent all-round form, scoring 157 runs and also picking up 17 wickets. He is the leading wicket-taker for South Africa. Kagiso Rabada and Gerald Coetzee will open the attack with the new ball, while Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj are the two quality spinners.

Afghanistan came tantalizingly close to creating history on Tuesday as they were on the verge of defeating Australia. However, a masterclass by Glenn Maxwell swept them away and the team remained at the 6th place on the table.

Competing with New Zealand and Pakistan for the 4th semifinal slot, Afghanistan must win this match by a huge margin to have the best shot at making it through.

Ibrahim Zadran slammed an unbeaten century in the last match, his first in a World Cup, and appears to be in brilliant form. He will look to give the team a brisk start along with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Just like their opponents, Afghanistan has some consistent performers in the middle order, including skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmat Shah.

The duo will be the key batsmen for the team during the middle overs. Azmatullah Omarzai has done well with the ball as well as the bat, scoring 254 runs and picking up 7 wickets. He will likely be the first bowling change as Naveen Ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi lead the attack with the new ball.

Afghanistan’s strongest point will be its spin attack. Rashid Khan is the leading wicket-taker for them with 9 wickets, while Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi, and Noor Ahmed will play a supporting role.
