Afghanistan and South Africa will kick off their three-match ODI series on Wednesday at the Sharjah Cricket Stad🗹ium.

Afghanistan have had mixed results in their ODI series this year. They were whitewashed (3-0) by Sri Lanka in February but managed to defeat Ireland 2-0 in March, with one match abandoned due to rain. South Africa, on the other hand, suffered a 1-2 series lo🤡ss to India in December last year.

Both teams will be aiming to make a strong start to the 50-overs leg and build momentum for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
