South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first. They started very well with the bat, even though Tony de Zorzi (11) lost his wicket early. But after the opening wicket, the Proteas were all over Afghanistan with the bat.
After the wicket of Bavuma, Rassie van der Dussen (52) also came up with the vital fifty, adding 44 runs with Rickelton. Aiden Markram (52*) then came up with the perfect finish as he slammed the fastest fifty for South Africa in the ICC Champions Trophy (33 balls).
