SA vs AFG ODI World Cup: Predicted playing XIs, live streaming, pitch report and weather forecast of Ahmedabad

South Africa will be aiming to conclude the league stage of the ICC ODI World Cup on a positive note as they face Afghanistan in their final match. The highly anticipated 50-over clash will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 10th. South Africa enters this match following a devastating loss to India, where they were completely outplayed in every aspect of the game. The hosts set an imposing target of 326 runs, leaving the Proteas struggling to keep up. Unfortunately, South Africa’s batting lineup crumbled under the pressure, resulting in their largest defeat in this World Cup, with a meager total of 83 runs.

On the other hand, Afghanistan also suffered a defeat in their previous game against Australia. The Asian side had the upper hand throughout the match until Glenn Maxwell’s explosive knock of 201 runs turned the tide. Afghanistan started strong, posting a commendable total of 291 runs while batting first. Australia, however, faced a rare collapse in their chase, losing seven wickets with only 91 runs on the board. It was at this critical juncture that Maxwell showcased his brilliance, teaming up with skipper Pat Cummins to mount a remarkable comeback. Maxwell’s innings, consisting of 21 boundaries and 10 maximums, will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the greatest performances in the history of cricket.
