Former South African batter AB de Villiers is hopeful for the Proteas, who are just two matches away from winning their first ICC trophy—an achievement that has eluded them since the 1992 World Cup semifinal. Despite having strong squads in the past, South Africa has consistently fallen short of reaching the finals in both ODI and T20I World Cups.

South Africa Take On Afghanistan To Book Semis Berth

Now, in the ninth edition of the men’s T20 World Cup, South Africa faces Afghanistan in the first semifinal in Trinidad on Thursday at 6 am IST. Ahead of this crucial match, AB de Villiers has encouraged the team to bring the trophy home.

In this T20 World Cup, South Africa has shown a newfound ability to stay composed under pressure, securing victories in tight situations—something they have historically struggled with. Their notable wins include a one-run victory over Nepal, a four-run win against Bangladesh, and a three-wicket triumph over the West Indies.

Rain To Interrupt Proceedings At T20 World Cup?

South Africa’s history in knockout matches is well-known, and they will be wary of the threat Afghanistan poses in Trinidad. The weather forecast for Trinidad and Tobago on the day of the match, which begins at 6 am IST (8:30 PM local time), shows a very low chance of rain, remaining in the single digits according to weather.com. However, humidity is expected to be high, rising from 82 to 86 percent as the match progresses.
