Wide Rahmanullah Gurbaz to Tristan Stubbs. Off break back of a length, wide outside off stump on the back foot cutting, missed for 1 run, fielded by Alikhil. That seals the game for South Africa, but Afghanistan win the series 2-1. Chasing 170, Temba Bavuma and Tony de Zorzi gave a decent start. Afghan spinners took wickets in the middle and applied the pressure, but Aiden Markram showed his class today, with an unbeaten 69 with the support of Tristan Stubbs to take his team to a comfortable victory. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the Player of the Match, and also the Player of the Series.
