Team Analysis
Afghanistan cricket team features a number of solid strengths including presence of quality all-rounders, a fiery bowling unit, and a strong and stable top-order. The Afghani opener, Rahmullah Gurbaz is in epic form and smashed a century in the last match as well. Other batsmen worthy of praise include Rahmat Shah and Azmatullah Omarzai.
The Pashtun bowling line-up isn’t slacking and was majorly responsible for both of Afghani wins in this ODI series so far. Fazalhaq Farooqui has been performing exceptionally well as he bowls at a superb economy and provides important breakthroughs for his team. Rashid Khan is also shining his talents and taking home important wickets. In fact, Rashid is the key impact player from the Afghani side in this 3rd ODI and fans have huge expectations from him to perform well.
The South African team is perhaps in their worst form in a long time. Tempa Bvuma is back to take the reins of captaincy from Aiden Markram but not even Tempa’s leadership can save the Proteas from a series loss. Their main weakness lies in their wobbly and collapse-prone middle order. The African team is truly missing their middle order stars like Marco Jensen, David Miller, and Geralt Coetzee.
Match Insights And Conclusion
The South African cricket team truly needs to strategize their attacking and defensive plans and work on forming important partnerships between the middle-order players. Rashid Khan, Aiden Markram, and Fazalhaq Farooqui are three impact players for this 3rd and the last game. If Afghanistan wins the toss and choses to bat first, we expect a target in between 300-350 with few star individual performances.
