AFG vs SA 2nd ODI Approaching Milestones: Afghanistan stunned South Africa in the first game of the three-match ODI series as they thrashed them by six wickets to make a statement. This was the first time in history when the Afghanistan cricket team won a game against the South Africa cricket team across the formats. But can they do it again? That will be a big question when these two teams will face each other in the second game. This match will take place on Friday at Sharjah International Stadium.
Afghanistan's bowling unit has varities, and they will come into the game as the favorites. The pitch in Sharjah will help their bowlers more than South Africa. So, that will leave the Proteas to make some changes to their plans. South Africa will be keen to bounce back and level the series. Meanwhile, there are some key records and milestones which can be achieved in the second AFG vs SA ODI clash at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
