In the 42nd game of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, Afghanistan (AFG) and South Africa (SA) will play against each other. Both teams will play their last league game of the tournament with the Proteas set to play the second semifinal on November 16. On the other hand, the Afghans need to win by around 300 runs, which is highly unlikely to get 10 points and go ahead of New Zealand's NRR.
Even if this happens, they will also need England to beat Pakistan so that the 1992 winners remain on eight points. On the other hand, the Proteas, who are qualified for the semis, would like to get some winning momentum after the 243-run drubbing. However, they would like to get a taste of chasing a target, which they have failed twice in doing so.

SA vs AFG: Pitch Report
Talking about the wicket, it had something for the spinners, although not much though. Also, with the boundary sizes being bigger, the bowlers can afford to bowl length deliveries and use the dimensions. Dew won't have much impact as seen during the England vs Australia match.
