Match: Afghanistan vs South Africa, 9th Match, ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Warm-up games
Date: October 18th 2021
Time: 03:30 PM IST.
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium Nursery 2, Abu Dhabi.
The Environment of Abu Dhabi is fine for outdoor games as there are no signs of rain on today’s date. The weather will be sunny and hot with slight humidity in the air. The temperature will waver around the 34 degrees Celcius mark during the match; We can expect an uninterrupted match.
The Pitch of Abu Dhabi hasn’t shown any signal to support the batting department, But bowlers will get plenty of opportunities to hay the wickets all they want. hence we may not able to see many runs to chase comparing with other grounds.
Afghanistan has a strong squad at their end. The players similar to Rashid Khan, Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have plenty of experience playing in the T20 format. The Afghans also have a power-packed batting unit, consisting of Gurbaz, Zazai and others. But we don’t want to think, due to their home affairs they will get weaker as a result of inconsistent practice and stability for peace of mind.
Mohammad Nabi (C), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Hazratullah Zazai, Usman Ghani, Mohammad Shahzad (wk), Hashmatullah Shahidi, Asghar Afghan, Gulbadin Naib, Najibullah Zadran, Karim Janat, Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Hamid Hassan, Fareed Ahmad, Naveen Ul Haq.
South Africa are likely to depend profoundly on Quinton de Kock at the top of the order. Aiden Markram is also in ample good form with the bat in hand. However, their start will depend on the captain Temba Bavuma and Keshav Maharaj partnerships. They have the power to hit long shots with the required power. Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have proved their sharpness in recent games and will be looking to make a mark.
Temba Bavuma (c), Keshav Maharaj, Quinton de Kock (wk), Bjorn Fortuin, Reeza Hendricks, Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, David Miller, W Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen
Note: All 15 players in the squad will get a chance to bat/bowl in warm-up matches.
South Africa are in fair form, having won three T20I series in a row coming into the World Cup. And additionally, they have more experienced and great players to turn the flow of the match at any time. On the other hand, Afghanistan’s Bowling department has to play a major role as their batting line-up is okay. Hence Hamid Hassan and Rashid Khan will have to convey this responsibility. overall the South Afraic are favourites to win the game.
