South Africa and Afghanistan, the two teams who are at the bottom of the points table will take on each other in the 21st match of the World Cup. In fact, both of these two teams are yet to get a win under their bag and would be desperate to get off the mark. We take a look at South Africa Predicted Playing XI and Analysis for the match against Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, South Africa’s last match against West Indies was washed out due to rain. Thus, South Africa was able to get amongst the points. On the other hand, Afghanistan hasn’t come up with a collective effort. In fact, there is no doubt that they need to pull up the socks in the batting department.

Here is South Africa’s Predicted Playing XI and Analysis:

The southpaw batsman had scored 31 runs in the last match against India. Miller hasn’t been consistent in the recent past and would aim to get going in do or die matches.
