Afghanistan Seeks Historic Whitewash Over South Africa

Afghanistan aims for a historic 3-0 series win against South Africa in the third one-day international. Leading 2-0, Afghanistan has made several team changes, while South Africa has fielded an inexperienced squad with key players out. The match is set to be a critical showdown.

Afghanistan won the toss and elected to bat in the crucial third and final one-day international against South Africa, setting sights on an unprecedented 3-0 series sweep over the Proteas this Sunday.

The Afghan team, already leading the series 2-0 with dominant six-wicket and 177-run victories, looks to capitalize on South Africa's weakened side. South Africa was bowled out for 106 and 134 in the first two games.

South Africa made a single change, bringing in bowling all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo for Nadre Burger. Notably, Afghanistan missed the services of Rashid Khan, who took a five-wicket haul in the last match but was sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Newcomer Abdul Malik replaces Riaz Hassan, while Fazalhaq Farooqi steps aside for fast bowler Farid Khan.
