Rashid Khan is the most celebrated cricketer in Afghanistan and it is hard to look beyond Rashid whenever they are in trouble. The leg-spinner though has not performed to his billing in World Cup 2023 but looks like a man on mission in Afghanistan's final game of World Cup 2023 against. South Africa. Afghanistan posted 244 in the first innings and though the Proteas started well, they crumbled from 64-0 to 116-3. 

The third wicket to fall was of Aiden Markram, creating some shockwaves in South Africa's dressing room as Rashid removed him with a lovely delivery. It was a touch shortish delivery on middle and turned away after pitching. Markram went back and tried to work it towards the leg side but got a leading edge as the ball lopped up in the air towards cover. Naveen-ul-Haq ran forward and took an easy catch which might help Afghanistan press panic button in South Africa's dressing room.

South Africa have not been good chasers in this World Cup and crumbled badly against the Netherlands and India. They have already qualified for the semis though and would like to finish off this chase against Afghans clinically ahead of the big game against Australia.
