Thiruvananthapuram – The South Africa-Afghanistan World Cup warm-up match scheduled to be held at the Thiruvananthapuram Sports Hub Stadium has been delayed due to rain. Due to heavy rains, we have not even been able to throw the toss yet. The match was supposed to start at 2 pm. The incessant rain has left the outfield waterlogged, making the match unlikely today. Central Meteorological Department has announced orange alert in Thiruvananthapuram district.
For South Africa, who defeated Australia 3-2 in the series held at home, how much of a challenge Afghanistan, who came to the World Cup after being knocked out in the Asia Cup at the group stage, will determine the excitement of the match. Twenty20 captain Aiden Markram will lead the team as South African skipper Temba Bavuma has returned home due to family reasons. Bavuma will return only after the warm-up matches.
In the other two warm-up matches, Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat against New Zealand. The match will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. In Guwahati, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat against Bangladesh.
