Afghanistan has their first ODI win against South Africa. They won with ease as well against an inexperienced, but not so young South African side. SSouth Africa will be feeling that they have a lot of catching up to do. While they are filled with some new names, the old names too such as Aiden Markaram and Lungi Ngidi will be backed upon to contribute. For Afghanistan though, a feature was their pace bowling which was really good, helping them tie the South Africans down on a tough batting track.

AFG vs SA Key Players
Fazalhaq Farooqi
Afghanistan's left arm quick is showing a lot of improvement. He bowled really well in the first ODI with support from the pitch and his left-arm angle is allowing him to hit awkward lengths really well.
Lungi Ngidi
Lungi Ngidi started really well in the first ODI with the ball. He had a good new-ball spell but could not penetrate through the line-up with Afghanistan relatively under less pressure thanks to a smaller target. He is hitting good lengths though and that will be crucial as he looks to bring his side back to level.
AFG vs SA Match Tips
South Africa are the more experienced side but the first ODI will give Afghanistan a lot of confidence. Experience though could keep South Africa in the middle and it will be interesting to see how both sides cope up.
