OUT! Caught. Azmatullah Omarzai to Marco Jansen. Off cutter short, wide outside off stump on the back foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid off, caught by Atal. South Africa have finished their innings at 187 for 6, setting a target of 188 for Afghanistan. Aiden Markram departed early, but Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton steadied the innings with a brilliant 114-run partnership. Both batters brought up their half-centuries. Dewald Brevis contributed 23 runs, while Marco Jansen added a quick 16 off just 7 balls. The Afghanistan bowlers made a strong comeback after dismissing the well-set de Kock and Rickelton. Rashid Khan picked up two crucial wickets in his third over, whilst Azmatullah Omarzai claimed three wickets but conceded some expensive runs in his final over. Fazalhaq Farooqi also chipped in with one wicket. Can Afghanistan chase this target, or will South Africa successfully defend 188? Stay tuned for the run chase.
