Aiden Markram-led South Africa is all charged up to take on Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup semifinal. As Afghanistan is on an unbelievable run in this ongoing mega event. Recently, after clinching a win against Bangladesh in a low-scoring encounter, the Afghans are roaring and appear more than underdogs.
On the other hand, South Africa’s run to date in this World Cup has been more scratchy than fluent. Although the team has come to the semifinals unbeaten, it’s also a fact that they have had many not-so-impressive wins. Now, the test is going to be real, as it is do-or-die for both teams. Let’s take a look at their AFG vs SA head to head records and see who can take the lead from these two impressive sides.

South Africa and Afghanistan have met twice in T20Is. And both times in the World Cup, with South Africa coming out on top on both occasions. The first meeting was in 2010, where they defended a low score of 139 runs against Afghanistan, restricting them to 80 and winning their first encounter. The second game happened in 2016 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. And here the Proteas again defended 209 runs, bundling Afghanistan out for 172. South Africa holds a clear advantage in the past, but this time, Afghanistan will look to turn the tables and put up a good fight.
