South Africa Preview and Playing XI
South Africa are coming a horrendous loss against India by 243 runs. Chasing down targets is an area of concern that South Africa would like to asses and plan accordingly ahead of their semi final clash against Australia at Eden Gardens. Gerald Coetzee will replace Tabraiz Shamsi in the playing XI and the rest of the team remains the same.
South Africa Playing XI: Quinton de Kock, Temba Bavuma (c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), David Miller, Marco Jensen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada.
Afghanistan Preview & Playing XI
Afghanistan were too close in causing another huge upset but one drop catch from Mujeeb ur Rahman changed the course of the match completely as Glenn Maxwell played one of the best innings in the history of ODI cricket to take Australia home. With the loss against Australia and New Zealand’s win over Sri Lanka has belted Afghanistan’s chances of making it to the semi-finals. They will be very proud of how far they have come and will look to end their campaign on a high. Fazalhaq Farooqi will replace Noor Ahmed in the starting lineup.
Afghanistan Playing XI: Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (capt), Azmatullah Omarzai, Ikram Alikhil (wk), Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
