SAF vs AFG: Pitch Report
In this tournament, batsmen have generally outshone bowlers in most matches. However, this trend might shift in the upcoming SAF vs AFG game at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Early in the game, pace bowlers are expected to benefit from some extra swing and seam, while spinners could come into their own during the innings' middle phases. Nonetheless, batsmen have opportunities to score well if they adeptly handle the conditions. Reviewing the 29 One Day Internationals played at this venue reveals a balanced record: 15 wins for teams batting first and 14 for those chasing. The average first-inning score is 243, showing the pitch is initially favourable for batting. But, the range of scores, with a highest of at 365 and lowest of 85, reflects a pitch that can become more challenging as the game progresses. Therefore, it’s likely that the captain winning the toss may choose to bat first, trying to capitalize on the early favourable batting conditions before the pitch becomes more bowler-friendly.
SAF vs AFG: Head-To-Head ODI Record
South Africa and Afghanistan have played against each other once in an ODI match. In this single encounter, which took place during the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, South Africa emerged as the winner, leaving Afghanistan without a victory in their head-to-head record.
