00:00The scene is set, this is sure to be dramatic.
00:22Dragged on excellently, a little bit of movement.
00:25Oh my gosh, that is absolutely spectacular from Rahmat Shah.
00:38That got for six, that is a huge one.
00:45That is a catch, that is a catch, that is a catch and a half.
00:55That is a catch, that is a catch, that is a catch, that is a catch and a half.
01:26That is a catch, that is a catch, that is a catch.
01:33A little bit of movement there.
01:44Rahmat Shah, who was not 311 on the board, and beat South Africa comfortably.
01:48that after winning the toss, they decided that they would have a bet once again after
01:52where they went in the second One Day International.
01:55As far as the teams go, well there were some changes.
01:58Hassan and Rashid Khan and Faruqi were arrested for this encounter and it gave an opportunity
02:04for at the top of the order for Malik to make his debut and then Farid Malik coming in as
02:08the fast bowler option in the middle as well.
02:12So they've been really good and they were obviously going to try and put South Africa
02:15under pressure.
02:16They were just making the one change that Nandre Berger was out and they decided to
02:20go with the option of Ndile Pethakwae, so only one really recognised fast bowler in
02:24that equation and then obviously going to rely on the spinners in the middle overs to
02:28see what they could possibly do.
02:30So South Africa were fighting for pride, Afghanistan were trying to make a clean sweep of the series.
02:35Next up to the Corridor Commentary Box we've got Nala Brann and Werner Villeneuve.
03:06exactly where the sweeper was.
03:08We're talking about not much aggression, there's an example of perfect aggression.
03:17Shout for LBW and the finger goes up.
03:28Looked a decent shout I have to say.
03:35Malik will consider the review.
03:53Langton Razere got that one spot on, didn't he?
03:57So a first wicket for South Africa and the debutant Malik has to go for nine.
04:02LBW 2 and Giddey, it's 27 for 1.
04:09That's not accurate, that's short, that's wide and Gurbaz just gives himself a little
04:14bit of room, waits for the offside, it was going to be down to placement.
04:18Giddey get it through the inner rink.
04:21Ripped away, over square leg, that'll be four.
04:28Not sure that was exactly where Gurbaz was meant to be hitting it.
04:38Well that's remarkable.
04:41And Giddey has parried that on to the non-striker and then it's ricocheted off Ramachar on to
04:49the stump.
04:56Okay, there's a clear contact.
04:59Satisfy my decision for big screen.
05:09Yeah, so the decision is made.
05:11It's Ramachar run out by Ramachar for one.
05:15Afghanistan, 38 for two.
05:19Gorgeous stroke from Gurbaz, down the ground for four.
05:28Down the track, finds the gap to the offside.
05:31Challenge for the fieldsman, he gives it up, it's gone for four.
05:38Smacking it through mid-wicket, six.
05:41Stunning stroke from Gurbaz, flat, hard and over the boundary.
05:49Oh, that's beautifully played.
05:51Got into position early, he was looking for that shot.
05:54And then executes a fantastic sweep shot.
05:57It'll take him to another milestone in the series.
06:00Yeah, he was always going to look to impose himself on the youngster.
06:05Brings up the sixth half century for Ramanula Gurbaz in the ODI format.
06:12Yeah, he's got this crowd going once again.
06:18He's an excellent player, he's an entertainer.
06:32It's good running, but is it good running?
06:34It was well thrown in the end from Justin Stubbs on the boundary.
06:37He's got a strong arm and he's going to be sent upstairs.
06:40A shrink of the shoulders, not 100% convinced that he's made his ground.
06:46Can you give me a side-on angle?
06:49Roll forward, frame by frame.
06:52Reset, one frame more.
06:55OK, satisfied? My decision.
07:06Yeah, and out it is. That was brilliant by Justin Stubbs.
07:08That was angled past backward point, I thought it was a comfortable two.
07:11But he's got a strong arm, he ended up bouncing it on the other bit of the square.
07:16When it got to Varena quickly, the ball was right next to the stumps.
07:19Didn't take much to get it onto the wickets.
07:22The pals came off.
07:24Out for ten is Hashmatullah.
07:29Oh, brilliant, slides it through.
07:32We talked about how often he just gets the ball to angle back towards the right-handed batter.
07:38This time it angles back beautifully, just drifts in.
07:41Goes between bat and pad.
07:44Has his first of the evening.
07:46Yeah, this is absolutely brilliant.
07:50We've seen him in the first game, using that drift from time to time.
07:54But on this occasion he gets it absolutely spot-on.
08:00Gets rid of the dangerous Umazai, goes for two.
08:02Afghanistan, 79 for four.
08:09That's beautifully struck and doesn't even look like he's going to run.
08:12No, he isn't. Just stands his ground, Gurbaz.
08:14He loves to move around the crease, this time giving himself room.
08:17And the target straight back over the bowler.
08:19And a wonderful execution.
08:24Globbered down the ground by Ramanullah Gurbaz.
08:28Goodness me, long on.
08:30He was only about five to ten metres away from that.
08:33He had absolutely no chance of getting around to his left to stop it.
08:37Catch it.
08:39Catch it is the call.
08:43It will only be caught by one of the stewards back there at deep backward square leg.
08:46It's gone all the way for six and that brings up the Afghanistan hundred.
08:53They don't know where to bolt him.
08:55They've got no answers at the moment for Gurbaz.
08:58Good from Boubouma.
09:00If he plays, the game scenario is what I'm trying to see.
09:03They're going to send the ball back to him.
09:06That's what I'm trying to see. They're going to send it upstairs.
09:09Roll forward, forward, forward.
09:11He's not grounded yet.
09:13Forward.
09:15Bills is dislodged and he's outside the ground.
09:17I'm satisfied.
09:19My decision for Big Screen.
09:28Ikram Ali Kale goes.
09:30Run out for four in Afghanistan.
09:34They were so keen not to do.
09:36113 for five.
09:45Off the toe of the bat.
09:47But it's still gone for six.
09:49Tristan Stubbs was down there at long off.
09:51He thought he was in business at one stage.
09:54It's quite a short straight boundary here at Sharjah though.
09:57And Gurbaz takes advantage of it.
10:00Yeah!
10:02Beautifully bowled.
10:04Magnificent delivery.
10:06Nothing from the umpire.
10:09You know conditions rule now.
10:12Boubouma has asked for the review.
10:14No matter what, I'm going to take the review.
10:18Roll forward, forward.
10:20Okay.
10:22There is a spike. The ball is near to the bat.
10:25Confirm. Change your decision.
10:27Not out.
10:29You're out.
10:31You're on screen. Signal now.
10:33Alright, so it was like maybe Tim Boubouma
10:35missed his Monday morning alarm.
10:37But he got another chance.
10:39And Navi departs.
10:41Not making any extra run
10:43after that missed opportunity.
10:45Departs for five. Afghanistan in sort of trouble.
10:47132 for six.
10:53Gurbaz goes
10:56to the offside.
10:58Felder takes the catch.
11:00Yes, he's taken the catch. He's out.
11:02Gurbaz is out for
11:0489.
11:06Look at Vajo with the wicket.
11:08Jonathan Trott cannot believe it.
11:12Big, big moment this is in the game.
11:14Rehmanullah Gurbaz departs
11:16after a well-made 89 runs.
11:18He's disappointed.
11:20Must be disappointed.
11:23Down the track and
11:27pulled out in the deep.
11:31He took an excellent catch driving forward.
11:37You can understand the frustration.
11:39Another 100 on cards.
11:41Gurbaz is out for 89.
11:43A fantastic catch taken by Hendricks
11:45driving forward.
11:47Afghanistan chartering along now.
11:49132 for seven.
11:51Knocks him over.
11:53Second wicket from the over.
11:55Pelekuayo is on fire here
11:57at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
11:59Afghanistan is
12:01skittering away.
12:07Excellent bowling this is
12:09from Andelepe Pelekuayo.
12:13He's delighted.
12:15South Africa on the moon now.
12:18What a difference
12:20he's brought to this innings
12:22with ball in hand. Karote is out
12:24for a duck.
12:30Has been dragged into the leg side.
12:32It's AMG.
12:38He's taking a real liking to Fortein.
12:40This one is a maximum.
12:45Belting blow.
12:48Really superb.
12:54Did he get enough of it? Yes.
12:56That's the second maximum
12:58for Gazanfar.
13:04He's taking a real liking.
13:06Oh what an effort
13:08by Tristan Stubbs.
13:10But he's going to pick up another boundary.
13:18Shot.
13:20Brilliant stroke out here.
13:22Sachin Tendulkar stands for six.
13:30Chucked one on. Unfortunate.
13:32Mgiri gets the wicket.
13:34Second wicket for Mgiri.
13:38He's going the other direction that way.
13:40Off the back elbow, onto the leg.
13:42And Lungengiri gets the bonus
13:44of the ball going onto the stumps.
13:47Second wicket in the day for Lungengiri.
13:49Ninth wicket down for Afghanistan.
13:55Malik goes for four.
13:57166 for now.
14:01Good shot. Down the ground.
14:03Straight to the fielder on the boundary.
14:05He's caught.
14:07Makram taking the catch.
14:09South Africa coming with a fantastic
14:11response with ball in hand.
14:13Afghanistan all out for 169.
14:17Well, after the hearts of the second
14:19One Day International, Afghanistan unable
14:21to reach the similar
14:23milestones with regards to just being bowled
14:25out for 169. Gherbaz was still brilliant
14:27for his 89 of 94 deliveries.
14:29He was immensely disappointed that
14:31he got out without getting to a
14:33three-figure score once again in consecutive
14:35matches. But Gazanfal with his
14:3731 of 15 showed his capability.
14:39His best score in
14:41List A cricket before this was just six.
14:43And he really did show some firepower at the
14:46back end there to get 31 of 15 and make sure
14:48that Afghanistan could post something
14:50that they could maybe defend in 169.
14:52Lungengiri was brilliant with his bowling.
14:54Two for 22. He had a run-out up front
14:56in that initial power play and really
14:58set the tone. Fontaine has built on his
15:00performances throughout the series
15:02so far. Mulder was put to the sword
15:04a little bit in his two overs. But the key
15:06was Makram, Baba Peter and
15:08Pathakwai in particular who got the wicket of Gherbaz
15:10who stepped up in those middle overs
15:12and allowed South Africa to bowl Afghanistan out
15:14for 169.
15:16So 170 required
15:18by South Africa in their 50 overs.
15:20Nothing to worry about from a run-rate
15:22perspective. But could they put the partnerships
15:24together and build something to get
15:26over the line?
15:30Over the top. Excellent stroke.
15:32Good footwork and will pick up a
15:34boundary as well.
15:38That's pulled away nice.
15:40Just dragged down fractionally. He's not a tall man
15:43so as a bowler you have to be aware
15:45about making sure
15:47that you keep the proper length
15:49to him.
15:53Over the top. Excellent stroke
15:55from Boubouma.
16:01Goes again. Another outstanding stroke
16:03from Boubouma. Second boundary
16:05from the over.
16:09Straight to the man.
16:12Over the top.
16:14That's it.
16:20That's not good.
16:22That's exactly what
16:24Bangladesh, Afghanistan needed.
16:26They needed to pick up that first wicket.
16:28He was dropped in the last game as well
16:30against the same bowler.
16:32It was the slug sweep that time
16:34and he was dropped deep in the
16:36mid-wicket area.
16:38Oh!
16:40He saw dust out of there.
16:42And Azmat dropping the catch.
16:44Straight forward.
16:46Straight forward catch.
16:48Yeah!
16:50Maxim over!
16:52Good accurate delivery from Mullah Mohammed.
16:54Jubilation in Afghan camp.
16:56Boubouma is gone.
16:58He's out. He's bowled for 22.
17:02We were complimenting Boubouma in the last over
17:04that he seemed to have worked things out.
17:06He seemed to have it all covered.
17:09Perfectly directed. Just a little bit of purchase.
17:11Goes between bat and pad.
17:13Clatters into that off stump.
17:15There's been a couple of drop catches.
17:17Missed opportunities from a run-out perspective.
17:19But eventually, Afghanistan get their breakthrough.
17:21Boubouma.
17:23He has to be on his way for 22.
17:25South Africa now, 44.
17:31Nicely worked into the gap on the offside.
17:33Good placement.
17:35He'll pick up a boundary.
17:38Or Hendricks.
17:40He's got a job to do.
17:42Oh, it's Big Shah.
17:44Big Shah from Nabi.
17:46No interest shown from the umpire.
17:48Looked as though that was going past
17:50off stump to me.
17:58Pitching outside off.
18:00Impact umpire call.
18:02Wickets hit him.
18:04Stay with your original decision.
18:07Not out.
18:09You on screen?
18:11Signal now.
18:13Very good decision, I think that.
18:19Just checking to see
18:21if that last delivery was a no ball.
18:23It is confirmed
18:25as a no ball.
18:27So it's a free hit.
18:33Six.
18:35Not entirely sure Di Zorzi even middled that.
18:37But goodness me.
18:39Been a long way.
18:41That's how you deal with a free hit.
18:45Big Shah for LBW.
18:47And the finger's gone up.
18:49Di Zorzi trapped on the back foot.
18:51And he's not even bothering to consult
18:53with his batting colleague.
18:57Di Zorzi's bike straight away.
18:59Back to the pavilion.
19:01And Nabi was bowled so well.
19:04But this one just skidded straight on.
19:08And that's what's done for Di Zorzi.
19:16This one with the arm angle.
19:18And this is plumb.
19:20Di Zorzi knew it.
19:22That's why he didn't bother about taking the review.
19:24Umpire took some time deciding about it.
19:26Finally raising the index finger.
19:28Saying it is out.
19:30Di Zorzi departs after making 26
19:33South Africa are 62 for 2.
19:37There's the sweep.
19:39The arm.
19:41Did it straighten enough?
19:43That'll be about the consultation.
19:49Pitching in line.
19:51And picked in line.
19:53Wicket is missing.
19:55Stay with your original decision.
19:57Not out.
19:59You are on screen.
20:01Signal now.
20:23And this is a really good catch.
20:25And the reason I think it's a good catch
20:28is because just there
20:30he's calling the bowler out of the way
20:32but also the fielder.
20:34And he has to contend with the stumps.
20:36He has to be aware of where the stumps are
20:38in relation to his body.
20:40And he makes sure he keeps himself
20:42out of the way of the stumps.
20:44Sound catch.
20:46Hendrix has to go.
20:48Gone for 18.
20:50It's game on.
20:5280 for 3.
20:54Markrum trying to change that narrative though.
20:57And now over extra cover.
20:59Successive boundaries
21:01for Aiden Markrum.
21:03That'll break the shackles.
21:09Pull behind square.
21:11Good shot.
21:13Brilliant effort.
21:15Not enough.
21:174.
21:19Won't be happy with that.
21:21Because Markrum's got enough on it.
21:23One stage I didn't think it was going to carry.
21:26Off to Aiden Markrum.
21:32That's short.
21:34This could be a catch.
21:36No, another maximum.
21:38Didn't seem like it came off the middle of the bat.
21:40Seemed a bit of a top edge.
21:42This has been a really destructive over
21:44from Aiden Markrum.
21:48That's beautifully played.
21:50You were asking me earlier
21:52what can Afghanistan do
21:54to get into Aiden Markrum.
21:56Come on, be our guest.
21:58Take a risk.
22:00It's 50.
22:0211th ODI 50
22:04for Aiden Markrum.
22:06What an innings this has been.
22:08That's to go with 300s.
22:10You can see the appreciation from the dugout.
22:12He's played really well as Aiden Markrum.
22:16Could be close.
22:18Finger goes up.
22:20And that is the end of Tristan Stubbs.
22:23He can't do it.
22:27Wicket is missing.
22:31Roll back your decision.
22:33Out to not out.
22:35Your screen.
22:37Signal now.
22:41Edged and down the inside.
22:43And it will run away to the fence.
22:47Nicely driven.
22:49Lovely stroke from Markrum.
22:53Full, handsomely.
22:55Majestic stroke.
22:57And it's gone to distance as well.
22:596.
23:03He's got the wicket.
23:11He's trying to signal the way.
23:13South Africa have been
23:15competent today.
23:17Excellent response from what transpired
23:19in the first two matches.
23:22Normal service resume for South Africa.
23:28And as we thought, 1.69
23:30didn't prove to be challenging enough.
23:32A decent start from South Africa.
23:34De Zorzi and Bivouma put on an initial partnership.
23:36Hendricks went for 18.
23:38Then it was Aiden Markrum who shouldered the responsibility
23:40of the run chase.
23:42He made sure he got to 69 of 67
23:44and was there to anchor
23:46in a partnership with Tristan Stubbs
23:48to take South Africa over the line
23:51comfortably with 17 overs to spare.
23:53Bowling-wise, Zadran, he ran in
23:55and tried to bowl as best he could.
23:57Guzemfa was impressive again at the top of the order
23:59but the pick of the bowlers for me was actually Naby.
24:01He bowled with wonderful control
24:03and only for a late flurry of sixes from Aiden Markrum
24:05did his figures look like 8 overs 1 for 37.
24:09Fahd Malik was too good and so was Karoti.
24:11But in the end of the day, the 1.69
24:13was never going to be enough to challenge
24:15the South Africans and they win the game
24:17comfortably, 170 to 3.
24:19But an historic victory
24:21in the series.
24:23Afghanistan won the first two matches
24:25so they had that secured even with the loss
24:27here today in the third one-day international
24:29and it was time to be the champions
24:31and the celebrations to begin.
24:33A massive moment in the history of
24:35Afghanistan cricket beating the likes
24:37of a big cricketing nation
24:39like South Africa for the first time.
24:41We hope you enjoyed our coverage
24:43and from us here in Sharjah Cricket Stadium
24:45it's good night and goodbye.
