Afghanistan vs South Africa Chance of Winning

The first ever bilateral meeting between the Proteas and the Afghan squad is turning out to be quite a thriller. Afghanistan have sealed the series in their name with victories in both the ODIs so far. With a 2-0 lead, the team will be extremely confident coming into the last game and hoping for a white wash. Afghanistan will be exploiting their aggressive bowling again.

South Africa is a very strong team in the cricket circuit. However, the absence of a few prominent names is pretty evident in the series. The team could not win a game yet and are 0-2 behind in the current series. South Africa were terrible in both departments in the last game. The Proteas will now play for pride and will attempt to prevent a clean sweep.

• Afghanistan’s chance of winning: 55%

Afghanistan vs South Africa Betting Tips

South Africa to score over 26.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.87@Batery)

South Africa is a terrific team and will witness a lot of new faces in the upcoming series against Afghanistan. The team last played an ODI series against India where the openers led opening partnerships of 3, 130 & 59 runs in those three ODIs. The team opened with Reeza Hendricks and Tony de Zorzi in those games. Hendricks and de Zorzi opened for the side in this series where the pair secured 17 runs before their first dismissal. However, Temba Bavuma stepped in, replacing Hendricks and led an opening partnership of 88 runs alongside Zorzi in the last ODI. That said, South Africa will be expected to score well before their first dismissal in the next match.

Afghanistan vs South Africa Toss Prediction

The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is known to be a good batting pitch. The new ball will move around a bit, particularly under lights, but once the pitch settles down, batters can milk the runs comfortably. Spinners will have their say in the middle overs. Under lights, batting might become easier as the ball will come on slightly better to the bat. Three of the last five ODI matches at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium have been won by the team batting first. Moreover, the conditions will be too hot, and neither team is likely to put their bowlers out in the heat.

Weather Report

The skies over Sharjah will be clear. The maximum temperature will be 39 degrees Celsius.
