Afghanistan, who many expected would produce some memorable moments, have failed to live up to the expectations. Playing their fourth match, they are standing on the verge of another defeat as the Proteas look favourite to win the game. However, with some match-winners in the rank Afghanistan hold the ability to pull up a surprise.
Wicket-keeping: Quinton de Kock with his experience will be the preferred choice for the role of the glove-worker.
Batting: Faf du Plessis, partnered by Hashim Amla and Aiden Markram, should be there in the team. Hashmatullah Shahidi, Najibullah Zadran and Rahmat Shah should be there representing Afghanistan.
Bowling: Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir and Rashid Khan must find a place in the team. Aftab Alam can also be considered for one of the slots.
All-rounder: Mohammad Nabi and Andile Phehlukwayo are the strong contenders for the position.
