South Africa is without two of their important players, Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller, which is a significant change for their batting lineup. However, this allowed young talent Jason Smith, who made his ODI debut in this match. Smith has been a promising player in South Africa's domestic system, and the team hopes he can make a strong impact in his debut game.

Afghanistan also faces challenges, as they are missing two of their key players, Ibrahim Zadran and Mujeeb ur Rahman. Zadran has been an important batsman for Afghanistan, while Mujeeb’s spin bowling has often troubled the opposition. Their absence puts extra pressure on the Afghan team to perform well in this match without them.
The Sharjah pitch is known for being favorable to batsmen, and South Africa, having chosen to bat, will look to post a strong total on the board. Afghanistan, on the other hand, will rely on their bowling attack to keep the South African batsmen in check, despite the absence of Mujeeb ur Rahman.
