Afghanistan and South Africa will kick off their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign at the National Stadium in Karachi on 21st February. South Africa, the inaugural champions of this tournament, will be keen to put up a good show this time and get their hands on the coveted trophy for the second time.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan is the debutant of the Champions Trophy. This is the first instance when they have made it to this event courtesy of their 8th rank in ICC ODI rankings. Being the debutants, Afghanistan will definitely be the dark horse considering the fact that they made it to the semifinals of their last ICC event, i.e., the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Afghanistan isn’t a weak link anymore in white ball cricket and will look to pull up some wins under their belt in this competition.
In this post, we will discuss cricket betting tips, today match prediction and who will win between Bangladesh and India in match no 2 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

AFG vs SA Champions Trophy 2025 Match 3 – Pitch Conditions & Match Details
The wicket at the National Stadium in Karachi is expected to be batting-friendly. We have witnessed in the recently concluded tri-series involving South Africa, New Zealand, and hosts South Africa that scores of above 300 were on display if teams get a good start up front. The wicket tends to get slower mid-way but batters do get a good go at this surface. If there is swing early on with the new ball, the pacers can get some assistance.
Talking about the weather conditions, a little bit of cloud cover is expected in the afternoon with the temperature being close to 29 degrees Celsius. However, no rain is in the forecast despite the gloomy weather early on in the day.
Date: 21st Feb, 2025
Time: 2:30 PM IST
Venue: National Stadium, Karachi
Live Streaming Details: The match will be live on Star Sports 1 (English) and Star Sports 3 (Hindi). The online live streaming will take place on the JioHotstar app.
