The Proteas have got to this point unbeaten. Quinton De Kock has stood out with the bat, racking up 199 runs so far. His side will need another big performance from him at the crease.
The Afghans have been brilliant in this tournament, beating both New Zealand and Australia. It was their final Super Eight victory against Bangladesh that ultimately sent the Aussies home. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the tournament's top run scorer with 281 and Fazalhaq Farooqi has taken the most wickets (16). They may be the underdogs, but they cannot be written off.
