Faf du Plessis-led South Africa have won the toss and opted to field against Afghanistan in the 21st match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on Saturday.
Here are the live updates from the 21st match of the tournament between South Africa and Afghanistan:
# Afghanistan openers Hazratullah Zazai and Noor Ali Zadran are set to start the innings!
# The clash is set to commence in a few minutes with both the teams on the field for the national anthem ceremony!
# South Africa have won the toss and opted to field against Afghanistan!
