South Africa and Afghanistan will face each other in the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024. The match will be held on June 26, 2024, at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, beginning at 6:00 AM IST. South Africa is having an excellent performance in this edition. With seven consecutive victories, they have another chance to reach the final of a World Cup, something that they have never accomplished in as many years of international cricket. They are looking forward to defeating AFG, who have a dominant head-to-head record in T20Is. Afghanistan have been on a roll since the ODI World Cup 2023, when they defeated England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, and this year they have stepped up by beating Australia and New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2024. They certainly deserved a spot in the semi-finals, and now is their chance to make history.

South Africa and Afghanistan are meeting for the third time in the T20Is, and this will be their most important match because it is a semi-final for the T20 World Cup 2024. The confident AFG, who kicked out Australia, will be prepared to face the in-form South Africa, who have yet to lose a match. We believe South Africa will break the jinx this time and make it to the World Cup final for the first time in their international cricket history. Afghanistan has a strong bowling unit with both pacers and spinners ready to attack. Considering the team combination, South Africa are expected to win this match.
