Champions Trophy: Klaasen Misses Out As SA Opt To Bat First Against Afghanistan

By IANS News February 21, 2025 • 14:22 PM View: 737

ICC Champions Trophy: South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first against Afghanistan in the third match of Group B clash of ICC Champions Trophy at National Stadium.

The match marks Afghanistan's debut in the Champions Trophy, while South Africa will be looking to overcome their history of near-misses in ICC events.

Afghanistan and South Africa have faced each other five times in ODIs, with the Proteas leading the head-to-head 3-2. However, Afghanistan made history last year by securing their maiden ODI series win over South Africa, clinching a 2-1 victory in Sharjah.
