Check out how to watch South Africa v Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023, including TV and radio coverage, UK time and our key player to watch.
Semi-finalists South Africa take on Afghanistan in Ahmedabad, with the latter needing a victory by a large margin to have any hope of reaching the semi-final.
This should have been a blockbuster. In Afghanistan’s last fixture, they had Australia 91-7 and were on the brink of a fourth victory in a row, moving into the top four with just a game to go.
But Glenn Maxwell’s scarcely believable heroics, scoring the first ever ODI double century in the second innings, ripped up Afghanistan’s dream and left them with a mountain to climb against South Africa, who have already secured their place in the final four.
Afghanistan are level on points with both New Zealand and Pakistan, but their net run rate is significantly worse, meaning a win for either the Black Caps or the Shaheens in their final group stage game will leave Afghanistan needing to beat South Africa by an almost impossibly large margin to leapfrog both nations into fourth place.

South Africa v Afghanistan key player to watch
Quinton de Kock (South Africa)
The star batter of this World Cup, scoring four centuries across the competition, De Kock has been in blistering form.
Every time he has reached 50, he has gone on to score a century – and another fast start from him against Afghanistan will likely take the game away in the Proteas favour.
