South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first but lost an early wicket when Tony de Zorzi was dismissed for 11 by Mohammad Nabi. Ryan Rickelton and captain Temba Bavuma then shared an excellent partnership, putting on 129 runs from 142 balls for the second wicket. Bavuma made a steady contribution, scoring 58 off 76 balls, including five boundaries.

Rickelton, meanwhile, brought up a well-made century off 101 balls, his first in ODI cricket. However, a brilliant piece of fielding by Rashid Khan, who ran him out off his own bowling, ended Rickelton's innings at 103 off 106 balls, which included seven boundaries and one six.

Rassie van der Dussen also played a solid knock, making 52 off 46 balls, while Aiden Markram finished unbeaten on 52 off 36 balls, hitting six boundaries and one six. South Africa concluded their innings at 315/6 after 50 overs. Nabi took two wickets for Afghanistan, while Fazalhaq Farooqi, Noor Ahmad, and Azmatullah Omarzai each claimed one.
