AFGHANISTAN vs SOUTH AFRICA: Afghanistan has been in the news for reasons unrelated to cricket and it will be answered shortly if that will affect performance on the field next season. What is known about Afghanistan, however, is that it is a team that is not easy to fight with.
Afghanistan cannot afford to play as many matches as other teams, but the fact that the conditions in which they play are strikingly similar to this World Cup can help them enormously. Also, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi, and Rashid Khan have gained a lot of experience lately and that can be a colossal benefit in the future.
Cricket South Africa has been in shambles lately, and not just on the field. They were also quite weak with their performance on the field and their recent winning streak over Sri Lanka would have been a refreshing sight at least for their fans.
Following their colossal victory over Sri Lanka, South Africa made some shocking decisions that stood out even more after the 2021 IPL concluded. Much to the surprise of many, Faf du Plessis will not be part of South African plans for the World Cup and a fairly inexperienced hitting team will certainly miss him.
Afghanistan To Win the Match, 3.02
Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman could be tough to deal with for the Proteas’ batsmen.
Apart from Quinton de Kock and Aiden Markram, the South African batsmen may well struggle to adapt to the conditions right from the outset.
Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada are likely to be rested for the warmups and that will certainly leave a big void to fill for the other bowlers.
AFGHANISTAN vs SOUTH AFRICA MATCH ANALYSIS
The day we’ve been waiting for so long is finally here. ICC World T20 is scheduled to start on October 19, 2021, and since only the warm-up exercises are played beforehand, all teams will strive to make the correct combinations.
Some players know the conditions better than others and this warm-up part can serve as a great trade-off.
The first tournament preparation match will take place on October 18, 2021, between Afghanistan and South Africa. The game will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
While the game may seem like a mismatch on paper, it is sure to be an exciting match considering how two teams have done lately. Afghanistan will enjoy these conditions as the Proteas make a tremendous onslaught. It will be a wonder of a competition.
