Afghanistan will play South Africa in match No. 42 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Friday, November 10. The match will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

South Africa, who are already through to the semi-finals of the tournament, suffered a massive loss at the hands of India in their previous match.

They currently are second in the table with six wins in eight matches. India posted a competitive total of 326/5 in 50 overs, banking on Virat Kohli's record-equalling 49th century.

Shreyas Iyer scored a half-century as well. However, the star-studded South African batting line-up was dismantled for only 83 runs, their lowest total in World Cup cricket.

The World Cup trophy was not meant to be his, but India's 'Captain Fearless' Rohit Sharma gave everything on the field and so did Mohammed Shami, who set the record for most fifers in the tournament's history. India's World Cup dream also had Virat Kohli creating history with his 765 runs and notching up the 50th century to finish as the Player of the Tournament, but there were remarkable performers from the other teams as well. South Africa once again crashed in the semifinal stage but looked formidable yet again, courtesy aggressive batters such as Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen and for New Zealand, the young Rachin Ravindra made it a tournament to remember.
