Afghanistan vs South Africa T20 Match Prediction

Afghanistan vs South Africa T20 Prediction & Betting Tips

Afghanistan and South Africa will begin their world cup preparations from a warm-up game. The match will be played at ICC Academy Ground 2 in Dubai and will start at 3:30 PM IST

South Africa come into the match after a brilliant series in Sri Lanka where they won 3-0. Faf du Plessis was in fine form in the IPL but he is not part of the squad. Other players like David Miller and Adrien Markram does not have many runs behind them. Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks had a good series against Sri Lanka and they will need to score big runs if South Africa have to make an impact in the match. There are few concerns in the bowling department as Kagiso Rabada is not in the best of form. However, Anrich Nortje bowled well in the IPL. Tabraiz Shamsi needs to come good with the ball.

Afghanistan can be a dangerous side on their day. They have a decent bowling lineup given the conditions and can trouble the African batters. The likes of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb ur Rahman won’t be easy to tackle. There are few concerns in the batting but if the bowlers fire and restrict the teams to around 120-140, the game will be on.
