Watch: Gulbadin Naib shocks South Africa with dramatic run-out of Andile Phehlukwayo

Afghanistan National Cricket Team all-rounder Gulbadin Naib came up with a brilliant presence of mind in the ongoing first ODI against the South Africa National Cricket Team. The first of the three matches between the teams is currently taking place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah.

Afghanistan National Cricket Team have been all over the South Africa National Cricket Team in the ongoing first ODI. Asked to field first, they have come up with a terrific bowling performance, and have made a mockery of the opposition's batting lineup.

The bowlers in Fazalhaq Farooqi and Allah Ghazanfar have wreaked havoc across South Africa's batting lineup. The duo have picked three wickets each and left the opposition tottering at 36/6 with all the big names back in the hunt without even going past the 10-run mark.

Having lost 6 wickets quickly, the 7th wicket for South Africa came in a hilarious moment along with the great presence of mind shown by Gulbadin Naib. The Afghanistan National Cricket Team all-rounder ran out the Proteas counterpart to send him packing for a duck.

On the last ball of the 10th ball, Allah Ghazanfar bowled a delivery to which Andile Phehlukwayo, after playing, went out of the crease in a casual way. The ball wasn't dead, and as Gulbadin Naib saw the batter out of the crease, he hit the bullseye to leave the South African player shocked.

Afghanistan National Cricket Team appealed and Andile Phehlukwayo waited there for a while, hoping that he would be given not out. But he had to walk. He was seen looking at the square leg umpire and then went out of the crease.

Andile Phehlukwayo bagged a four-ball duck as South Africa National Cricket Team were left tottering at 36/7. The onus will now be on Wiaan Mulder and Bjorn Fortuin to take their team to the fighting total and give their bowlers something to fight with.

Gulbadin Naib also is expected to play a vital role for the team with the ball and bat. The all-rounder, in the last few months, has been stepping up big time for his side and would be keen to carry his good form and help his team win the ongoing series against Afghanistan National Cricket Team.

Afghanistan would want to wrap up the innings pretty quickly and then chase the target to go 1-0 up in the series.

Here is the playing XI of Afghanistan and South Africa for the first ODI:

Afghanistan (Playing XI): Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Riaz Hassan, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi (c), Mohammad Nabi, Azmatullah Omarzai, Gulbadin Naib, Rashid Khan, Allah Ghazanfar, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Nangeyalia Kharote
