9:09pm A maiden win for Afghanistan over South Africa and this is their third-biggest win in terms of balls to spare against a Test-playing nation. The Jonathan Trott-coached outfit continues to take giant strides in white-ball cricket, and this is a win that was purely set up by their bowlers. With regular opener Ibrahim Zadran missing due to injury and Gurbaz out early, Afghanistan faced a few early jitters, with the top order taking a lot of time to just get in. But once Shahidi and Omarzai walked in, Afghanistan started to breathe easier. Omarzai stayed unbeaten and in company of Naib, Afghanistan’s everywhere-man, they created history. South Africa fought hard but a few missed chances did not help, and then their opponents never let them in.
