ICC ODI World Cup 2023 Points Table, Most Runs & Wickets After SA vs AFG Match. The recent clash between South Africa and Afghanistan in Match 42 of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium unfolded with the Afghanistan captain opting to bat after winning the toss.
While the outcome of the SA vs AFG match is anticipated to have minimal impact on the overall ICC World Cup 2023 standings, the Proteas, currently holding the second position with six victories in their last eight games, face the risk of slipping to third place should they lose, coupled with a subsequent win by Australia. However, this potential consequence is somewhat mitigated by the fact that South Africa and Australia are already slated to confront each other in the semi-final in Kolkata, rendering the standings shift less critical.
Moreover, As the World Cup match evolves into an inconsequential fixture, Afghanistan and South Africa are now driven by pride as their primary motivation. Afghanistan, having enjoyed a remarkable campaign, now has only pride at stake. For South Africa, this match serves as a valuable test before their upcoming semi-final against Australia at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
However, In the 1st Innings, Gerald Coetzee emerged as the standout bowler for the Proteas, achieving career-best figures of 4/44 in 10 overs. Despite Afghanistan’s initial struggle at 116/6, Azmatullah Omarzai’s brilliant unbeaten score of 97 guided them to a total of 244. Rassie van der Dussen played a starring role with the bat, contributing 76 runs in the second innings and leading South Africa to a five-wicket victory against Afghanistan.
