Afghanistan will make their debut in the ICC Champions Trophy with a difficult match-up against South Africa at the National Stadium in Karachi on Friday, February 20.
Both Afghanistan and South Africa have done well in the ICC tournaments in the recent past and they will look to continue their good work in the Champions Trophy.
Hashmatullah Shahidi-led Afghanistan have won eight of their last 10 completed ODIs, including a 2-1 series win over South Africa. On the other hand, Temba Bavuma-led South Africa are coming into this tournament with six ODI losses in a row in absence of their first-choice players, who were busy with franchise T20 commitments.
