🏏ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026:M13: AFG vs SA, Ahmedabad 🏏 - Page 3

Good toss to win: It's a morning game and there will be some moisture early on, as Markram noted at the toss. Mujeeb has been in red-hot form, while seamers will also find help with new ball. Expect South Africa to lose two wickets in powerplay for a score between 45-55.

The players and the match officials are out for the national anthems - Afghanistan's first and then followed by that of South Africa
