The tracks in Tarouba this T20 World Cup have been low-scoring, with plenty of help for spinners. Expect another slow track, with batting getting harder with the match. Afghanistan would like to defend the total, while South Africa might elect to field first, so the toss might not be a massive factor. A total of around 145 will be a fighting one.
A temperature of around 28°C, with some chances of rain, is forecast.
South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Aiden Markram (c), Tristan Stubbs, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi.
Afghanistan: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Ibrahim Zadran, Gulbadin Naib, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan (c), Nangeyalia Kharote, Noor Ahmad, Naveen-ul-Haq, Fazalhaq Farooqi.
Quinton de Kock: Quinton de Kock is a popular captaincy option for this game. Quinton will open the innings and has been in fine form. His wicketkeeping will also fetch a few points.

Rashid Khan: Rashid Khan is another popular captaincy option for this game. Rashid can be really threatening in Tarouba. His batting will also be handy in the lower order.
Tabraiz Shamsi: Tabraiz Shamsi has been selected by less than 29% of users as of now. Shamsi will bowl in different phases and get some help off the deck. He can dismiss a few batters.
Mohammad Nabi: Mohammad Nabi’s selection % currently stands at 18.84. Nabi will contribute with both bat and ball. His value will increase in Tarouba.
