Patiala, 19 September (Sports Desk)
Afghanistan scripted a historic victory over South Africa in their first-ever ODI match, thanks to impressive bowling performances from Fazalhaq Farooqi and Allah Mohammad Ghzanfar.
Batting first, South Africa was struggling at 36/7 after losing early wickets to Farooqi and Ghzanfar. Despite a fighting half-century from Wiaan Mulder, South Africa’s total of 106 proved to be insufficient.
