Cricket World Cup match between South Africa and Afghanistan; SA versus AFG comparison, form guide

In the 42nd ODI of the ongoing 2023 Cricket World Cup, South Africa takes on Afghanistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. In their last league game, the Proteas will be looking to solidify their ranking as the second-place squad. With 12 points, they are now in second place, ahead of Australia (12) and behind India (16), who have a lower net run rate.

Afghanistan, with eight points, is currently ranked sixth in the standings. They must win by a minimum of 438 runs against South Africa. India will play the team ranked fourth in the first semi-final. Australia and South Africa will face off in the second semi-final.

Andile Phehlukwayo is the lone member of South Africa who hasn’t participated in a single World Cup game. Aaron Phangiso played for South Africa at the 2015 World Cup but remained on the sidelines the entire time. Whether or not they bowl or bat first is somewhat irrelevant. The Proteas possess superior middle and top order. They boast some of the top pacers and spinners in the world of cricket for their bowling department.

Fazalhaq Farooqi, meanwhile, is anticipated to be a member of Afghanistan’s starting lineup. Mujeeb Ur Rahman, meanwhile, might be benched following his Tuesday 33-run dismissal of Glenn Maxwell. The Afghan team may not be particularly impressive, but they have demonstrated their ability to be reliable and cohesive.
