Fazalhaq Farooqi and 18-year-old sensation Allah Mohammad Ghzanfar starred as Afghanistan beat South Africa for the first time in any format in international cricket.

Having won the toss, South Africa opted to bat first only to be jolted by Farooqi’s early strikes. The left-arm pacer came around the wicket to account for Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram early on.

He added the wicket of Tony de Zorzi before Ghazanfar worked his magic on the middle-order, dismissing Tristan Stubbs and debutant Jason Smith for ducks in the same over.
