Afghanistan Jo kar rehi hai use khelna nahin kootna kehte hain😳

Afghanistan took all the 10 wickets in which Rashid Khan didn't get any wicket

Now the target should be quite easily chased by Afganistan. Yes, the wicket is not easiest but maybe 130 would have been competitive. Lankan on the other hand need wickets and a lot of them earlier on.

Can they pull of a miracle?

130🤔 Afghanistan jaise khel rehi hai, 180 kaa target bhi easily chase kar leti😛

Afghanistan: 103/2 after 9.2 overs

9.2 Theekshana to Hazratullah Zazai, OUT

Is he run out at the non-striker's? Oh dear, one of the worst ways to be out. Length all on leg stump. Zazai backs away and ends up flat-batting a shot straight back. Theekshana dives to his left, can't grab the ball completely, but gets a touch that takes the ball onto his stumps. Zadran was out of his crease, he knew it as soon as that happened, didn't really wait for the TV umpire.

At 10.1 Asalanka to Zadran, 1 run

Full on middle. Zadran tries to slog across the line but it takes an inside edge, goes past leg stump, and

Afghanistan win by eight wickets🥳

A thumping win for Afganistan and they've begun their campaign in some style!!!

The openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hazratullah Zazai got them off a flying start and nearly sealed the chase. They caused havoc in the middle overs and never gave the Lankans any chance to get back in the game. A couple of small knocks is what they wanted and both Gurbaz and Zazai did that.

The Lankan bowlers can't be blamed. They needed loads of wickets at the start but instead were taken to the cleaners. However the game was win by Afganistan in the first innings itself when they kept Sri Lanka to a very under par total. The Lankans were just not up for this game.
