At the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on September 29, South Africa will face Afghanistan SA vs AFG in the second pre-ICC Cricket World Cup match. In the last five games, South Africa has won three consecutive games and is doing well. Afghanistan, on the other hand, has a lot of work to do after losing their previous five games. As both of these sides adjust to the conditions for the World Cup, this game will be crucial for them both.
Australia and South Africa had previously faced off, with Australia choosing to bowl after winning the toss. Being given the opportunity to bat, the Africans took their time and advanced cautiously, but as soon as Aiden Markram and David Miller linked hands, the scoring exploded. They scored a respectable 315 runs thanks to an outstanding finish from Marco Jansen and Andile Phehlukwayo. Apart from Marsh and Marnus, no one else contributed to Australia’s aggressive start to the chase despite a strong partnership for the third wicket. They were bowled out for 193, which caused them to lose the game by 122 runs.
In their previous encounter, which Sri Lanka won the toss for and decided to bat in, they faced up against Afghanistan. With a strong opening partnership of 63 runs, Sri Lanka got off to a terrific start. It was followed by a few other fruitful alliances. Although there was a minor breakdown in the middle, the bottom order performed a fantastic job, scoring a substantial 291 runs. The middle order was outstanding, which helped Afghanistan gain the upper hand after they easily lost their openers. But they continued dropping wickets, which ultimately cost them, as they were bowled out after falling just two runs short of the mark.
