1st ODI: Bowlers Help Afghanistan Stun South Africa For Maiden Win

Sharjah International Stadium: Afghanistan men's cricket team made history on Wednesday with a sensational six-wicket victory against South Africa in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Sharjah International Stadium here. This is Afghanistan's first victory over South Africa and also their third-biggest win in terms of balls to spare against a Test-playing nation.

In a match with a total aggregate score of 213, the lowest match aggregate involved South Africa and Afghanistan in ODIs.

With seamer Fazalhuq Farooqi claiming 4-35, AM Ghazanfar bagging 3-20 and spinner Rashid Khan returning to white-ball cricket with a 2-30 haul, Afghanistan bundled out South Africa for a paltry 106 and then rode on an unbeaten 47-run partnership between Azmatullah Omarzai (25 not out) and Gulbadin Naib (34 not out) to reach 107/4 in 26 overs, winning the match with a massive 144 balls remaining.
