9.37pm A clinical win from the South African team who would feel has come two games too late. The bowlers first put up a strong show, with Ngidi, Peter and Phehlukwayo all taking two wickets apiece. Three top-order run outs also did not help Afghanistan as they were bowled out for 169 in 34 overs. In reply, South Africa lost their openers early and the batters, in challenging conditions looked all at sea. But without the pressure of the required rate, Markram dug in. He found an ally in Stubbs with the duo adding 72 runs for the fourth wicket. Makram finished unbeaten on 69 off 67 balls with four fours and three sixes. South Africa take the final ODI but Afghanistan have won the series 2-1.
