In his matchday preview, Rishabh Beniwal writes:
South Africa couldn’t have hoped for a better start to their campaign, beating Canada by 57 runs in their opening match. The entire Proteas batting line-up came to the fore, each contributing to a contribution of 213/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Lungi Ngidi was at his best with the ball as he recorded impressive figures of 4/31 in four overs.
After a winning start to the campaign, South Africa will look to continue their momentum by defeating Afghanistan. The Proteas ended Afghanistan’s dream run at the 2024 FIFA World Cup T20 by defeating them in the semi-finals. They hold a clean record against their opponents and will be hoping for another clinical performance in the upcoming fixture.
