AFG vs SA: A Thrashing to Remember!

Afghanistan's bowlers decimate South Africa

Afghanistan 30/1, 30/2, 41/3, 48/4, 50/5, 59/6, 60/7, 67/8, 82/9, 112 all out (20 overs); South Africa 61/0 (6.3 overs)

In a shocking display of dominance, Afghanistan's bowlers dismantled South Africa's batting lineup in their T20I encounter on Tuesday. The Proteas were skittled out for a paltry 112, with Afghanistan claiming wickets at regular intervals.

South Africa's innings got off to a disastrous start as they lost their first wicket in the very first over. The Afghan bowlers maintained the pressure throughout the innings, never allowing the South African batters to settle. Regular breakthroughs meant South Africa never had the chance to build partnerships or gain momentum.

Rashid Khan was the standout performer for Afghanistan, claiming 4 wickets for 13 runs. Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Naveen-ul-Haq also chipped in with two wickets each, while Karim Janat and Mohammad Nabi took one wicket apiece.

In reply, Afghanistan chased down the target in just 6.3 overs, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz scoring an unbeaten 51 off 28 balls. The emphatic victory gives Afghanistan a 1-0 lead in the two-match T20I series.

South Africa will be disappointed with their performance, particularly their batting, which has been a concern in recent matches. They will need to regroup quickly before the second T20I on Wednesday.
