AFG vs SA 2nd ODI Dream11 Prediction: After two losses, Afghanistan registered their maiden ODI win over South Africa in the first ODI of the three-match series in Sharjah. And they did it in epic style by bowling the Proteas out for only 106 runs. Left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi and spinner Allah Ghazanfar stunned South Africa by recording figures of 4/35 and 3/20, respectively. This is the first bilateral ODI series between these two sides.
The second ODI will be played on Friday at the same venue. Afghanistan will be looking to seal the series, while South Africa will be aiming to keep it alive.

Afghanistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI pitch and weather report:
The pitch in Sharjah for the second ODI is expected to be the same as it was in the first ODI—dry with uneven bounce, helping both pacers and spinners. Basically, batting is going to be challenging here. It could get slightly better in the second half of the match under lights.
The weather in Sharjah on Friday is bright.
Afghanistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:
Rashid Khan is a good Dream11 captaincy choice for the second ODI. His googlies are difficult to read. Khan would be a menace on this Sharjah surface with the ball. Expect at least two wickets, if not more, from Rashid. If he gets a chance to bat, he could add some crucial runs too.
