AFG vs SA 2024: Top 3 Players to watch out for in upcoming ODI series
South Africa and Afghanistan are set to lock horns in a bilateral series for the first time. The two teams will compete in a three-match ODI series, starting with the first game on September 18.
1. Rashid Khan
The talismanic Rashid Khan was recently struggling with a back issue but is now back to 100% and will be raring to go. Spinners are expected to play impactful roles in Sharjah as the pitches could suit them. However, it will be interesting to see whether the lack of match fitness bothers the leg-spinner.
Rashid has a sensational record in ODIs played in Sharjah. In 11 matches, he has picked up 29 wickets at an average of 12.06 and boasts a miserly economy rate of 3.68. He also registered figures of 5/24 against Zimbabwe at this venue in 2018.
The 25-year-old has the experience of playing 103 ODIs and his 30 overs in the series will be very important. Also, Rashid has improved his batting immensely in recent times and will have a role to play lower down the order.
