Afghanistan's batting review

The batting of this team, which came to bat first, was very embarrassing. Ten batsmen of the team could not even touch the double-digit mark. Only Azmatullah Omarzai managed to score 10 runs.

South African bowlers wreaked havoc on the Afghan players. Tabrez Shamsi, Marco Jansen took three wickets each, Kagiso Rabada and Enrique Norkhia took two wickets each. The team was all out for 56 runs in 11.5 overs. The pitch had a lot of uneven bounce. Some cricket experts also criticized it a lot.
