South Africa National Cricket Team vs Afghanistan National Cricket Team Live Score Updates: ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 moves to the world’s largest cricket venue today, Wednesday, 11 February, for a vital Group D encounter between South Africa and Afghanistan. Aiden Markram's South Africa enter the contest with high momentum after a dominant opening win against Canada. For Afghanistan, this match is a "must-win" scenario; following a loss to New Zealand in their first game, another defeat today would severely jeopardise their chances of progressing to the Super 8 stage. South Africa vs Afghanistan Live Streaming and Free Telecast, T20 World Cup 2026 Match 13.

The Narendra Modi Stadium is known for its true bounce and quick outfields, making it a high-scoring venue. However, with an 11:00 AM start, the morning conditions may offer some early lateral movement for the seamers.

South Africa's Edge: The Proteas have thrived in Indian conditions recently. Their batting lineup, featuring the in-form Quinton de Kock and Tristan Stubbs, will look to exploit the Powerplay.

South Africa hold a perfect record against Afghanistan in T20 World Cups, having won all three of their previous meetings. Their last encounter in the 2024 semi-final saw Afghanistan bowled out for just 56, a memory Rashid Khan’s men will be desperate to erase today.
