The 42nd game of the ongoing ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 will pit Afghanistan (AFG) against South Africa (SA) on Friday, November 10, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In the ODI World Cup points standings, Afghanistan is currently tied for sixth position with eight points, while New Zealand and Pakistan are ranked fourth and fifth, respectively. At Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, Hashmatullah Shahidi‘s team recently suffered a devastating three-wicket loss at the hands of Australia, the five-time world champions.
In terms of the actual game, Afghanistan chose to bat first after winning the toss and set a respectable goal of 292 thanks to opener Ibrahim Zadran’s incredible century (129* off 143 balls). After that, the Afghan bowlers took full advantage in the second innings, picking four wickets in ten overs. However, at one point the Kangaroos were faltering at 91/7 and it was Glen Maxwell’s extraordinary blitzkrieg that led the charge.
The dynamic all-around player wrote history by amassing an undefeated 201(128 runs), and captain Pat Cummins was an ideal companion in helping him reach the goal with 19 balls remaining. Conversely, South Africa, who had been playing at a high level for the majority of the ODI World Cup 2023, lost their previous match against the hosts, India, in Kolkata’s famous Eden Gardens. India chose to bat first and ended up scoring an enormous 326 runs in the match. The Proteas batting lineup faltered and lost by a score of 243 runs.
There is no chance of rain during the ODI World Cup match between South Africa and Afghanistan.
