Earlier, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss and elected to bat in the second ODI against an inexperienced South Africa on Friday.

Afghanistan made just one change from its dominant six-wicket win in the first game of the three-match series and brought in batter Ikram Alikhil in place of allrounder Gulbadin Naib.

Temba Bavuma recovered from illness and returned to lead an understrength South Africa, which got bowled out for 106 in the first match and lost seven wickets for the first time in an ODI inside the first 10 overs.

Led by a powerful century by Rahmanullah Gurbaz (105), Afghanistan posted 311/4 in 50 overs. In reply, the Proteas could only muster 134 as none of their lower order could muster a fightback as the Atlans won their first-ever ODI series.
