Champions Trophy: Bavuma Hails SA's 'clinical Performance' In Commanding Victory Over Afghanistan
ICC Champions Trophy: South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma lauded his team’s “clinical performance” as they opened their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign with a dominant 107-run win over Afghanistan here on Friday. Opting to bat first on an unfamiliar surface, South Africa posted a commanding 315/6, after a maiden ODI century from Ryan Rickelton. The bowlers then delivered a ruthless display, bundling Afghanistan out for 208 in 43.3 overs.
“Clinical performance. We took the brave decision to bat first not knowing about the wicket. We were then clinical with the ball too, closest to one of our best performances. The wicket looked a lot different to what we are used to in Pakistan,” said Bavuma after the match.
Batting first, South Africa posted a competitive 315/6, powered by Ryan Rickelton’s superb 103. The left-hander, in sublime form following his stellar SA20 and New Year’s Test exploits, anchored the innings with a well-paced knock. Contributions from Bavuma (58), Rassie van der Dussen (50), and Aiden Markram (52*) ensured the Proteas set a formidable target.
