Afghanistan on Cusp of Historic Series Win Over South Africa in Second ODI
Afghanistan Eyes Historic Series Win in Second ODI Against South Africa
In a historic first-ever bilateral series between Afghanistan and South Africa, the second ODI promises to be a thrilling encounter. After a resounding victory in the first match, Afghanistan is poised to secure a historic series win.
Afghanistan’s bowling attack, led by Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan, proved devastating in the first ODI, reducing South Africa to a precarious 36/7. The Proteas’ inexperienced side struggled to recover, eventually falling for 114.
Afghanistan will be eager to replicate that performance and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. South Africa, on the other hand, will be desperate to bounce back and salvage some pride.
The Proteas have a relatively young and inexperienced team, with several key players missing due to injuries. However, they will be hoping that their talented youngsters can step up and deliver.
The match will be a crucial test for both teams. Afghanistan will be aiming to prove that their recent success is no fluke, while South Africa will be looking to show that they are still a force to be reckoned with.
The second ODI is scheduled to take place at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on January 25, 2023. The match will start at 10:00 AM local time (08:00 AM GMT).
