South Africa (SA) will face Afghanistan (AFG) in Match 13 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, February 11.
Aiden Markram's South Africa come into this match with a boost of confidence after a commanding 57-run victory over Canada. With that win under their belt, they’ll be eager to maintain their momentum. The Proteas are playing the majority of their group-stage games in India and will be keen to leverage their knowledge of the conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from a tough five-wicket loss to New Zealand in their opening match. Despite a promising start, Afghanistan couldn’t sustain their momentum, and Tim Seifert's unbeaten 65 led New Zealand to victory. Afghanistan will aim to put up a stronger fight against South Africa and give them a run for their money in this crucial encounter.
This clash promises to be a thrilling contest as both teams look to secure valuable points in the group stage.
