Proteas save some face

After being thumped in the first two games of the series (by six wickets in the first fixture and 177 runs in the second clash) the Proteas picked up a seven-wicket win with 17 overs to spare in the final match, though Afghanistan secured a 2-1 series triumph.

Chasing 170 runs for victory, the SA team got off to a decent start, as they looked to make up for disappointing performances in the previous two games earlier in the week.
