Rashid Khan is known for business, and the statement once again proved into reality on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Afghanistan's sensation took two wickets while facing South Africa in the first ODI of the three-match series in Sharjah, and more significantly, the way he left Bjorn Fortuin clueless in the middle of the pitch spoke volumes, if least to say.

Rashid Khan Joins Allah Ghazanfar, Fazalhaq Farooqi To Knock Over South Africa

After Fazalhaq Farooqi and Allah Ghazanfar went all over South Africa, Rashid came to limelight during the 24th over of South Africa's innings. The Proteas, who were down to 36/7 following a forgetful start, got their ship steady after Bjorn Fortuin and Wiaan Mulder held the fort.

However, Rashid did not allow them to last long. His dangerous googly was too hot to handle for Fortuin, who made 16 off 34 balls before being cleaned up. With that, Afghanistan broke the much-needed partnership.


Notably, South Africa were bundled out for only 106 in 33.3 overs, with Fazalhaq Farooqi and Allah Ghazanfar sharing seven wickets in between them. Wiaan Mulder fought valiantly, making 52 off 84 balls, while the rest failed to live to their lofty standards.

Proteas Looking For A Miracle Vs AFG

At the time of writing this, South Africa have got the dangerous wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz. The KKR star fell for a three-ball duck, but the visitors need so much to do in order to get a positive result after a terrible collective batting performance.

Riaz Hassan and Rahmat Shah are currently in the middle for Afghanistan, as they would love to register a historic win in Sharjah, where the 250th ODI match is being played.
