Lungi Ngidi to Rahmanullah Gurbaz, OUT! TAKEN! Lungi Ngidi opens his account in just three deliveries! This is short of a length just outside off. Rahmanullah Gurbaz has a wild swipe across the line, but the movement away takes the outer edge and the ball balloons towards third man. It is the debutant, Jason Smith, who adjusts himself under the skier and gets the catch safe into his hands. Afghanistan lost their first one!

Bjorn Fortuin to Rahmat Shah, OUT! LBW! Bjorn Fortuin gets his first wicket in his very first over. This is tossed up, full and on middle. It is dipping as well. Shah gets low and tries to sweep it away but misses it completely. The ball sneaks through and pings him on his back leg. Bjorn Fortuin and company put in a loud appeal. The umpire raises his finger after a slight delay, which leads Shah to take the review. The Ball Tracking shows three reds and Rahmat Shah is a goner here.

Nandre Burger to Riaz Hassan, FOUR! Short and punished. Riaz Hassan has been very patient here, and now he has started to talk with the bat here. Short ball, on the body. Riaz Hassan hangs back and pulls it over square leg. It races away to the boundary.

Nandre Burger to Hashmatullah Shahidi, FOUR! Put away! Nandre Burger bangs this one into the pitch, sits up nicely for the batter, Hashmatullah Shahidi makes sure to get on top of it, rolls his wrists and pulls it away along the carpet to the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary.

Wiaan Mulder to Riaz Hassan, FOUR! Lovely shot! Wiaan Mulder serves this a bit too full, Riaz Hassan takes his front foot closer to the line of the ball, times his drive beautifully, Aiden Markram from coves gives chase, slides in but fails to stop it from going to the boundary.

Bjorn Fortuin to Riaz Hassan, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Bjorn Fortuin strikes again! South Africa are not going anywhere without a fight here. Tossed up, full and around middle, Riaz Hassan skips down the track and tries to slog it across the line, but loses his shape and yorks himself as well, the ball goes through to rattle the stumps. A rush of blood and his innings is cut short at 16 off 35 balls. Afghanistan three down now!

Aiden Markram to Azmatullah Omarzai, SIX! BANG! Azmatullah Omarzai goes big now! Aiden Markram tosses it up, full and on off, Azmatullah Omarzai gets his front leg out of the way and tonks it over the long on fence for a biggie. Afghans taking on the part-time spinner here.

Aiden Markram to Hashmatullah Shahidi, OUT! LBW! Aiden Markram with a huge wicket here. Hashmatullah Shahidi is unconvinced a little and takes the review. This is flatter one, around middle. Hashmatullah Shahidi looks to defend it away but misses and takes a blow on his knee roll. The on-field decision is out. Hashmatullah Shahidi takes the review but the Ball Tracking shows three reds and he is a goner. Afghanistan lose their fourth wicket and still needs 47 runs.

Nandre Burger to Gulbadin Naib, SIX! What a response! Nandre Burger serves this full but angling into the pads, Gulbadin Naib picks it up nicely and using his wrists whips it away over the deep backward square leg fence for a biggie.

Nandre Burger to Gulbadin Naib, SIX! TWO IN TWO! Gulbadin Naib on the charge now! Good length and around middle, Gulbadin Naib has big heave across the line, does not get it from the middle but uses all the power in his muscles to whack it over the deep mid-wicket fence for another biggie. Afghanistan needs just 23 runs to win now!

Andile Phehlukwayo to Gulbadin Naib, FOUR! The Afghans are in a hurry now! Back of a length and around middle, Gulbadin Naib charges down the track and shovels it away through mid-wicket for a boundary. Once again uses all his strength rather than timing. Afghanistan inching closer to history!

Andile Phehlukwayo to Gulbadin Naib, FOUR! Powered away! The required runs are in the single digits now! Fuller in length and around middle, Gulbadin Naib backs away to create some room and blasts it down the ground past the bowler for a boundary. They can almost touch it now!
