Preview: South Africa have three points from two matches. Australia and Afghanistan have an important match on Friday where the winning team will make it to the semifinals. If the game ends without a result, Australia will go through. If the Afghans lose to the Aussies, South Africa will automatically progress to the knockouts. If the Afghanistan versus Australia game ends without a result, South Africa will still go through unless they suffer a very heavy defeat against the Three Lions. However, if Afghanistan can beat the Aussies, South Africa will have to win against England.
