The victory has landed the Afghans on the cusp of registering a historic whitewash of the Proteas when they lock horns in the third and final ODI on Sunday, and in a way an opportunity to avenge their T20 World Cup semi final exit after losing to the same opponents in the West Indies.
Afghanistan enjoyed a dream run throughout their campaign, beating top sides like New Zealand and Australia, before securing their maiden semi-final spot in a men’s World Cup with a thrilling win against Bangladesh in their final SuperEight clash on Tuesday.
During this World Cup, the track at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy has produced scores of 40 all out, 78 all out and 95 all out. There has been only one decent contest with the West Indies managing to defend a score of 149 despite at one stage being 30 for 5.
