SA vs AFG ODI Head To Head Stats & Record: South Africa will look to bounce back when they face semi-final aspirants Afghanistan in match 42 of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday (November 10).

Temba Bavuma-led South Africa head into the match on the back of a defeat to table-topper India, while Hashmatullah Shahidi’s Afghanistan are fresh from a demoralising defeat to Australia.

In the most recent outing, South Africa suffered a 243-run win after folding for 83 in the run chase of 326 against the high-flying Indian team at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, were on the brink of win in their defence of 292 after reducing Australia to 91/7, but Glenn Maxwell single-handedly took the match away from them at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Both Afghanistan and South Africa will now look to get back among the win when they clash in their final round robin match, which happens to be only their second meeting in ODI format, the first since they met in the 2019 World Cup.

While South Africa look to gain the winning momentum before their semifinal clash against Australia, Afghanistan will be keen to land a win despite the outcome of the New Zealand vs Sri Lanka match.

Now, ahead of the SA vs AFG World Cup 2023 match we take a look at their ODI head to head record, stats as well as both South Africa and Afghanistan’s record in World Cup and their numbers at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
