Afghanistan’s national cricket team suffered a 107-run defeat against South Africa in its opening match of the ICC Champions Trophy.
Batting first, South Africa set a target of 316 runs, losing six wickets along the way. In response, Afghanistan managed only 208 runs before being bowled out, falling short of the chase.
With this loss, Afghanistan begins its Champions Trophy campaign on a disappointing note.
Despite the setback, Afghan players expressed determination to bounce back in the upcoming matches.
Afghanistan will face England in its second match of the tournament on Wednesday.
