AFG vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis
After Afghanistan’s recent one-off Test match against New Zealand was completely washed out, the team is now set to host South Africa in the UAE for a three-match ODI series kicking off on Wednesday, September 18, at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. This series not only promises exciting cricket but also marks the first bilateral meeting between the Proteas and the Afghan squad. The two sides have faced off before in two World Cup matches, with South Africa leading 2-0. This upcoming series is a fresh chapter for both teams.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Afghanistan Preview
Afghanistan will be captained by Hashmatullah Shahidi in their groundbreaking ODI series against South Africa, with Rahmat Shah serving as his deputy. The team also sees the comeback of Rashid Khan, who missed the earlier ODI series against Ireland due to injury.
South Africa Preview
Temba Bavuma will captain the Proteas in the ODI series against Afghanistan. The team has a great mix of talented players who will be looking to gain some valuable experience in these conditions in preparation for next yearβs Champions Trophy in Pakistan.
Weather Conditions
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is known to be a good batting pitch. The new ball will move around a bit, particularly under lights, but once the pitch settles down, batters can milk the runs comfortably. Spinners will have their say in the middle overs. Under lights, batting might become easier as the ball will come on slightly better to the bat.
The weather in Sharjah will be very hot during the afternoon. The conditions will be slightly better in the evening. There is no forecast of rain and we will get a full game.
AFG vs RSA Pitch Report
