South Africa were never seen as one of the favourites to reach the last four of the ongoing World Cup largely due to their inexperienced batting line-up. Afghanistan started their World Cup journey with excitement, although they lack the experience required to play quality cricket.

South Africa's best result thus far has been a 'no result' owing to their washed out match against the West Indies on Monday, coming on the back of a hat-trick of comprehensive defeats. While their batting remains an obvious weak link, South Africa's troubles have been compounded by some loose fielding and a misfiring pace attack.

While they managed to get the better of most of the mighty England batting line-up before Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes bailed the hosts out in the tournament opener, South Africa were completely outplayed in the games against Bangladesh and India. Uncertainty over the fitness of Rashid Khan would help them as they struggle to play against the spinners. It means that if South Africa have any chance of getting out of the rut they currently find themselves in, it is in this match.

Afghanistan, who face South Africa today, too have suffered a similar fate in the tournament so far, as their batting collapses have given their star-studded bowling line-up little to defend. In the three matches they have played so far, Afghanistan have managed scores of 207, 152 and 172 -- totals that have been deemed chase-able decades back in ODI cricket. Add to that the uncertainty over the fitness of their star spinner Rashid Khan and dropping of keeper-batsman Mohammad Shahzad, Afghanistan indeed seem to be on a shaky ground. Similarly, the fact that they are facing what has to be the weakest South African side to have played in a World Cup means that this is the best chance for Afghanistan to show that they belong at this level of the game.
