Fazalhaq Farooqi and 18-year-old sensation Allah Mohammad Ghzanfar starred as Afghanistan beat South Africa by six wickets. Farooqi came around the wicket to account for Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram early on
South Africa, reduced to 29/5, soon crumbled to 36/7 as Ghazanfar snared the wicket of Kyle Verreynne and Andile Phehlukwayo succumbed to a run-out
A fighting half-century from Wiaan Mulder helped with a handy knock from Bjorn Fortuin, took South Africa to triple figures, but with just 106 on the board
Despite a good start with the ball, Azmatullah Omarzai and Gulbadin Naib's unbeaten fifth-wicket stand guided Afghanistan to a historic triumph
With this win, Afghanistan now have registered victories against all teams but India and Nepal (only one match played) in at least one of the formats
