South Africa vs Afghanistan FREE Live Streaming, Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 42: For one team, this match would give it a glimmer of hope for its qualification into semi-finals, and for the other, it can be considered a practice match ahead of the semi-final clash on Thursday. Afghanistan’s clash against South Africa on Friday, November 10, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad could have been considered an unevenly balanced encounter had it happened a few years ago. However, in recent times, Afghanistan has been creating history as it also has a shot at the only available semi-final spot. It has had a great campaign so far, defeating big teams like England and Pakistan in its best run in World Cup history. South Africa, on the other hand, had been a formidable side in the tournament, sitting in second place just below India. It has lost only two matches out of eight played, one of which was a shocking defeat at the hands of the Netherlands, and the other was against India, in which Proteas had one of the worst batting collapses in its history of the World Cup.
Afghanistan’s strengths and weaknesses:
Afghanistan’s cricket team is currently playing with a fearless attitude. In all of its previous ODI World Cup appearances, the team only managed to register one win. However, in the 2023 Word Cup campaign, it has already won four times, giving it a chance to qualify for semi-finals for the first time. It also came closer to winning its last match against Australia until Glenn Maxwell turned the match upside down with his record-breaking 201 runs in just 128 balls, helping Australia win the match easily. Rahmat Shah Azmatullah Omarzai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Ibrahim Zadran, who scored a century in the match against Australia, and captain Hashmatullah Shahidi, have all been reliable and effective batsmen who have adjusted their style of play to the circumstances in most of the matches. In the majority of the matches, Afghan spinners have helped the team make most of the breakthroughs. At the same time, its pacers also had some good spells, but in most of the matches, they lacked conviction in their execution.
South Africa’s strengths and weaknesses:
Everything seemed to have gone well according to plan for South Africa, as it has performed flawlessly thus far, apart from its unexpected loss to the Netherlands as well as their horrible batting collapse against India. Middle-order batsmen Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram, as well as opener Quinton de Kock, have been the team’s main performers when it came to batting. All-arounder Marco Jansen and heavy hitter David Miller have also been giving excellent support in the lower order.
In addition to Jansen, Pacers Kagiso Rabada and Gerald Coetzee have made significant contributions and, when necessary, destroyed the opposition’s batting orders.Moreover, spinner Keshav Maharaj has been one of the most vital parts of South Africa’s bowling, as he is the most economical bowler for Proteas so far and has kept bothering middle-order batsmen from the opposition.
