SA Vs AFG Match Prediction: The 2026 T20 World Cup is being hosted by India, with some matches being played in Sri Lanka. This match is a Group D game, the group of death, between two teams that started this competition off with very different results.
South Africa qualified for the 2026 T20 World Cup as one of the best performing team front he previous edition of this tournament. They have not had the best time in limited-overs cricket in recent months. First, they lost an ODI and T20I series to Pakistan, and then lost an ODI and T20I series to India, before winning a T20 series against the West Indies. Their only warm-up game before the World Cup was a defeat to India.
South Africa kicked this tournament off in fine fashion, beating Canada comfortably in their first match.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan, after making it to the semi–final of the 2024 T20 World Cup, directly qualified for this tournament because of being in the top seven best performers two years ago. After a disappointing performance in the Asia Cup last year, the Afghans lost to Bangladesh in T20Is, then defeated Zimbabwe and the West Indies in the shortest format. In their two warm-up games before the World Cup, they beat Scotland and the West Indies.
The Afghans started this tournament with a crushing defeat against New Zealand.

SA Vs AFG Match 13 2026 T20 World Cup Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The Narendra Modi Stadium is considered a haven for batters. It is the batsman who rules the roost here. As most pitches in this ground are made out of red soil, the ball gets a lot of bounce after pitching, a bounce that is even. This results in the ball coming onto the bat quite nicely. The bounce also ensures that pace bowlers can try to create something here. While there is not much lateral movement here, the fast bowlers can use the bounce to surprise the batters and take wickets. The square boundaries here are about mid-60s metres in length, while the straight boundaries go as far as 78m away from the batters.
