Team Preview of SA vs AFG Semi-Final T20 World Cup Match Prediction 2024
Afghanistan did wonders, and now we all can say that cricket won today alongside the Afghanistan cricket team. They gave their every ounce of sweat to make it to the semi-final of the T20 World Cup after defeating Bangladesh by 8 runs under the DLS method. They knocked the Australian cricket team out of the tournament and gave them a tight slap as they refused to play against Afghanistan in the Bilateral series proposed by the Afghanistan board.
This is not magic because Afghanistan has shown the world time and time again what it is capable of doing. The solid proof of that came in the last ODI World Cup when they were just one step away from qualifying for the Semi-Final but lost to Australia in that match. Rashid Khan, Jonathan Trott, and Dwayne Bravo really led the side well alongside all other Afghan cricketers.
South Africa already created history by winning 7 out of 7 matches in the T20 World Cup, and the surprising fact about their winning is they did not look at their best, which can be seen by any cricketing fan or cricket who played the match just like AB de Villiers said in his tweet.
Even though many South African fans feel very happy to face off against Afghanistan as they are considered a weaker team than Australia, which is somewhere right, this is the T20 format, and we have already seen many small teams turn up against the big sides, like Australia and England.
South Africa needs to be up on their toes because they can not take the Afghanistan team lightly as they defeated the Australia and New Zealand teams by a good margin, making them one of the best teams in this World Cup. Brain Lara picked Afghanistan as the semi-finalist at the World Cup’s start. Every cricketer commented that they were good, but this would be the wild thing to happen, but guess what? Now, the Afghanistan team will face South Africa in the World Cup.
Let’s not forget the great acting done by Gulbadin Naib, who acted like he got a cramp, but because at that moment, if Bangladesh scored two or more runs in that ball before the play halted because of rain, Afghanistan would have lost the match due to DLS but when the match resume he came down and bowled amazing over which made everyone laugh.
