From Denmark to Australia, Mohammad Nabi creates history by becoming first player to win against 46 different teams as Afghanistan bamboozles South Africa

Afghanistan cricket team defeated South Africa by 6 wickets in the first ODI of the three-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, on September 18 (Wednesday). This was Afghanistan's first win against South Africa across any format in International cricket and also Mohammad Nabi's win against the 46th different cricket team. SA batting first got all out on a paltry score of 106 as their batting collapsed in front of the Afghan bowlers and then the Afghanistan team chased the target by the 26th over.

Mohammad Nabi's stats

Nabi made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Scotland in 2009, scoring a half-century. He quickly established himself as a key player for Afghanistan, contributing both with bat and ball. Notably, he became the first Afghan bowler to take 100 wickets in ODIs and was instrumental in Afghanistan's historic win against Bangladesh during the 2014 Asia Cup while serving as captain.
