Former England captain Michael Vaughan has raised concerns about potential scheduling disadvantages impacting Afghanistan's performance in their T20 World Cup semifinal loss to South Africa. He blamed Afghanistan's defeat on a biased schedule favouring India and pointed out logistical challenges, including a significant flight delay that left Afghanistan with insufficient preparation time. Vaughan also criticized the scheduling of matches to suit Indian viewership timings. South Africa's bowlers effectively exploited conditions, securing a spot in the final against either India or England.
