Everyone expected an intense three-match ODI series in Sharjah between Afghanistan and South Africa, but no one expected such a one-sided first match, with Afghanistan once again proving that they are a team to be implemented seriously in this format of the game. The Afghans can now complete a famous series win by winning either this or Sunday's third ODI, and after such a remarkable bowling performance on Wednesday, South Africa's batters will have to find a better way to deal with them in this game on Friday.

Despite the bowlers dominating and the batters struggling, South Africa demonstrated the quality of the batting surface at the Stadium game.
The conditions are expected to be very similar to what we saw in the first two games, with sunshine throughout and temperatures in the mid-twenties from start to finish.

We expect South Africa to perform better in the second ODI, but they must have to produce far more using their bat to trouble Afghanistan's strong and exciting team. We predict that Afghanistan will win. Considering the team combination, Afghanistan is expected to win this match.
