(WS News) – Afghanistan earned a first ever One Day International victory over South Africa as they romped to a comfortable six-wicket triumph in the first of the three match series in Sharjah on Wednesday.

South Africa were bundled out for 106 in 33.3 overs, having slumped to 36-7 in the 10th over, leaving Afghanistan with a modest target which they easily reached in 26 overs.

Gulbadin Naib (34) and Azmatullah Omarzai (25) were not out at the end as they steered Afghanistan home in an unbeaten 47-run partnership.

Fazalhaq Farooqi took 4-35 for the victors as they skittled the South African top order on a flat track in hot weather conditions.
