South Africa are knights, yes. Although, they do carry stab wounds from their previous carnage against England. Putting up 229 on the board, on most days it's enough. That day it wasn't. Dale Steyn and co must have wished they were firefighters, bartenders, investment bankers, anything but bowlers that day as they were taken in full and put in a shredding machine by the Poms. But still, they have the strength at their disposal to recover and intimidate. Something to take heart from was how the batting breathed fire despite the failure of their talisman AB de Villiers.

Afghanistan are brilliant. Afghanistan are reckless. They are a bunch of mavericks who can defy odds and thump their enemies on certain days. And then they can be like a bunch of invaders who forget their siege weapons on others. They are not like their fellow associate nations. They make silly mistakes. Their fielding is cringe-worthy. But yet, the enigma remains. There are players like Mohammad Shahzad who can go on a killing spree taking hundreds with his own sword. Then there is Hamid Hassan. Mohammad Nabi. Asghar Stanikzai. Afghanistan can be dangerous.

WATCH: #AFG in training for their big #WT20 match with #SA this afternoon in Mumbai! 3pm start (9:30 GMT) #AFGvSA
20 Mar 2016

Dale Steyn has been left out to accommodate David Wiese.

Stanikzai: "We would have also batted first. It is a high scoring ground and we will try to restrict them to 150-160. We have a few changes, Karim, Hamid and another one miss out. Shapoor comes into the side."

Faf: "We are going to have a bat. Obviously it looks like a good wicket. You don't know too much about these teams, so best to bat first. Still shell-shocked from the first game.

Teams:

South Africa: Quinton de Kock(w), Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis(c), AB de Villiers, Jean-Paul Duminy, David Miller, Chris Morris, Kyle Abbott, David Wiese, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir.

Afghanistan: Mohammad Shahzad(w), Noor Ali Zadran, Asghar Stanikzai(c), Gulbadin Naib, Mohammad Nabi, Samiullah Shenwari, Najibullah Zadran, Rashid Khan, Amir Hamza, Dawlat Zadran, Shapoor Zadran.

South Africa have got the brisk start they were looking for with Quinton de Kock carrying on from where he left in the last game against England. However, Amla fails to get going and Shapoor, making a comeback to the side, provides the breakthrough. Fullish and outside off, was there to be driven, Amla moves across to go over mid-off, looked like the ball stopped on him and he spooned it to mid-off. Stanikzai took the simplest of catches.

Faf du Plessis walks out at No. 3.

South Africa have posted 66 for 1 after the first six overs with de Kock doing most damage. Not to forget, these two are also setting up a platform for AB de Villiers. The next few overs should be interesting.

Dear, oh, dear! What have you done Mr. Captain? That was a bit too casual from the skipper. He was worried about his partner and instead of getting back into the crease, was standing out and waiting for de Kock to make his crease. Skips out and punches it to extra cover, Nabi gets his body behind and stops the ball, sees Faf wondering out and fires to Shahzad, who whips the bails off in a flash. De Kock was quick to say "NO" but Faf took ages to turn back and dive.

Afghanistan are fighting back. Two wickets in quick succession. This was beautifully bowled. Very, very slow through the air, de Kock kneels down to play the sweep, is early into the shot and also had to fetch it from way outside off, gets a feather to Shahzad, who stays low and does well to take it with the help of his thighs.

South Africa after 12 overs are 99 for 3.

The carnage has come to an end. Afghanistan will breathe a sigh of relief seeing the back of AB. He comes down the track, Nabi drags the length back, heaves it to deep mid-wicket, got plenty of height but not the distance, Najibullah was the man patrolling the rope, he kept his eyes on the ball and took it just inside the rope.

Most runs off an over in #WT20: 36 S Broad v IND, 2007 32 I Dawlatzai v ENG, 2012 30 B Bhatti v AUS, 2014 29 L Onyango v SL, 2007/ R KHAN *
20 Mar 2016

South Africa have posted a 200 plus total for the second consecutive time in this tournament and this time they will be confident defending it. Quinton de Kock gave them a good start yet again and the skipper Faf du Plessis scored some vital runs as well. But it was AB de Villiers yet again who delivered with a 29-ball 64. Afghanistan need 210 to win.

Mohammad Shahzad just played a blinder to provide a scare to South Africa. Afghanistan made 33 in the first two overs giving the Proteas some memories from their first game. He was finally bowled by Morris for a 19-ball 44 as Afghanistan have made 52 for one in four overs.

Afghanistan have done well to maintain the run rate after Shehzad's blitz but it'll be important not to throw it away. They are now 103 for 2 after ten overs and need 107 off the last 60 deliveries.

However, soon after, Gulbadain Naib fails to get going and falls for a 18-ball 26.

If such unimaginative tactics are what #SA have in mind for Chris Gayle and #WI, they may as well catch the flight home now. #WT20 #SAvsAFG
20 Mar 2016

Samiullah Shenwari has done really well to keep Afghanistan in the hunt and they now need 70 runs in the last five overs. Mohammad Nabi has been struggling a bit and needs to find his groove soon. We are likely to have a tense finish ahead folks!

Quick wickets have dented Afghanistan's hopes of running South Africa close here. They need 52 from 15 balls with two new men at the crease. Tahir, Rabada and Abbott were the wicket-takers.

20 Mar 2016

Rabada bowls the perfect yorker to get rid of the last man Shapoor Zadran and South Africa seal a 37-run win in the end. It didn't look comfortable for the first 14 to 15 overs as Afghanistan kept going toe to toe. Shahzad's blistering start gave them the perfect start but Morris kept picking wickets at crucial moments. This was much needed for the Proteas after they lost the first game to England despite posting 229.
