Match Prediction Best Odds
Afghanistan vs South Africa Toss Prediction
The boundaries are short at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad. It allows batsmen to hit the ball in the air without much worry. The pitch has a lot in it for the bowlers. Fast bowlers have done well at this venue with the new ball. The slowness in the track and low bounce are something spinners have always relished. Batting first seems to be the winning mantra in this tournament, as most teams have struggled to chase, irrespective of the target. The wickets got slower in the second half, making it challenging for batsmen. The side winning the toss would prefer to bat and have a big score on the board.
Weather Report
The skies over Trinidad would be overcast, and we may see rain interruptions during the game. The maximum temperature will be 32 degrees Celsius.
