In the 21st match of ICC World Cup 2019, Afghanistan and South Africa will be locking horns in a quest to register their first victory of the competition. Both teams have not won a single match yet and one more loss here will definitely close the doors of glory.
This match will be played at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff where rain has not hindered any of the games so far. This would be the first instance when these two teams will be going against each other in One-day Internationals.
