Afghanistan script history with first ever win over South Africa

A fighting half-century from Wiaan Mulder, helped with a handy knock from Bjorn Fortuin, took South Africa to triple figures, but with just 106 on the board, they faced a stiff ask to keep Afghanistan away from a win.

Despite a good start with the ball, Azmatullah Omarzai and Gulbadin Naib's unbeaten fifth-wicket stand guided Afghanistan to a historic triumph.

This is Afghanistan's first win in six matches across formats against the Proteas. Recently, they had been bowled out for 56 against South Africa in the semi-finals of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024.

With this win, Afghanistan now have registered victories against all teams but India and Nepal (only one match played) in at least one of the formats.
