AFG vs SA: Afghanistan is set to take on South Africa in the third and final ODI of their ongoing series, with the hosts aiming to achieve a remarkable clean sweep. Having already secured a historic series victory by winning the first two matches, Afghanistan will look to add another memorable chapter to their cricketing journey by winning the series 3-0.
Afghanistan’s impressive performances in the first two ODIs have showcased their growing prowess on the international stage. In the series opener, Afghanistan stunned the Proteas with a solid all-round display, clinching an emphatic victory that set the tone for the series. They followed it up with a commanding 177-run win in the second ODI, handing South Africa one of their most humiliating defeats in recent years.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz was the standout performer, scoring a century that broke records and provided a solid foundation for Afghanistan’s massive total of 311/4. Azmatullah Omarzai’s explosive unbeaten 86 and Rashid Khan’s magical five-wicket haul sealed the win, as South Africa crumbled under pressure.
Afghanistan now stands on the verge of completing a historic clean sweep against a top-five ranked ODI team, a feat that would further cement their rising status in international cricket. The third ODI will be an opportunity for the Afghan side to showcase their consistency and resilience while building momentum ahead of future tournaments.
For South Africa, the third ODI will be about salvaging pride and avoiding a whitewash. The Proteas have struggled to adapt to the conditions in Sharjah, with their batting lineup failing to cope with Afghanistan’s spin attack. They will need a much-improved performance if they hope to avoid a third consecutive defeat.
