SA vs AFG Today Match Prediction
Win Probability : South Africa 60% | Afghanistan 40%
South Africa looks strong. Their balanced pace attack (Rabada, Ngidi, Jansen) and deep batting lineup give them the edge. They’ve dominated Afghanistan in the past and are in good rhythm after the Canada win.
Afghanistan has fight and spin magic—Rashid Khan and Mujeeb can cause trouble in the middle overs. If they bowl first and take early wickets, an upset is possible. But South Africa’s experience and current form make them favorites.
