A new chapter in Afghanistan cricket is set to unfold as the nation prepares to host South Africa for their first-ever bilateral ODI series. The three-match series will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium from September 18 to 22.
The series comes on the back of Afghanistan’s impressive performance in the recent T20 World Cup, where they reached the semi-finals. This series will be a crucial opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their preparations for the upcoming Champions Trophy in 2025.
While Afghanistan has been making steady strides in international cricket, this series against a formidable opponent like South Africa will be a stern test. The Proteas, on the other hand, will be looking to build on their recent performances and gain valuable match practice ahead of the Champions Trophy.
Schedule:
- 1st ODI: September 18, Sharjah Cricket Stadium
- 2nd ODI: September 20, Sharjah Cricket Stadium
- 3rd ODI: September 22, Sharjah Cricket Stadium
It’s worth noting that Afghanistan will also be hosting New Zealand for their inaugural Test match just before this series, starting on September 9 in Greater Noida, India.
This series is a significant milestone for Afghanistan cricket, and it promises to be a thrilling contest between two talented teams.
