- Afghanistan’s Hashmatulla Shahidi has scored 51*, 71 & 78* runs in 3 of his last 4 innings.
- South Africa have won their last 2 matches against Afghanistan.
Head to Head
South Africa and Afghanistan have met twice in ODI cricket with South Africa winning on both occasions. Their last encounter came in 2023, a match the Proteas won by five wickets.
Afghanistan Form
Afghanistan have not played any cricket since the conclusion of the T20 Cricket World Cup earlier this year and have not featured in an ODI game since beating Ireland in March this year.
That said, Afghanistan did reach the semi-final of the T20 World Cup where they lost to South Africa. So, while this is a different format, they will still take some confidence from that performance.
Afghanistan Injuries & Team News
Afghanistan will be captained by Hashmatullah Shahidi with a number of other big names in the squad. Rashid Khan will be a key player on pitches that may offer some turn.
South Africa Form
South Africa have not played ODI cricket this year as their focus was solely on preparing for the T20 World Cup. It worked as they ended as runners-up in the tournament.
However, the Proteas will now need to get into the 50-over groove quite quickly and hope to find form immediately on foreign soil.
South Africa Injuries & Team News
Temba Bavuma has is not available for this first fixture due to illness. Andile Simelane will be hoping to debut, as will bowler Nqabayomzi Peter.
Verdict
South Africa are backed to win with Aiden Markram to top score.
For Afghanistan, Hashmatulla Shahidi has been in strong form with the bat in domestic cricket.
