🏏Asia Cup 2023: M6: SL vs AFG in Lahore on 05/09/2023 at 3PM IST 🏏 - Page 63

They never gave up but they probably didn't know that they still had a chance after 37.1 overs. They needed one six off the next three deliveries, but Fazalhaq Farooqi came out and blocked three balls. Rashid, who denied a couple of singles in the 36th over, could only watch it unfold agonizingly from the non-striker's end.

Damn this is sad that they didnt know they still had chance

Bazid clearly told this multiple times

I Didn't follow today'match.but lagta hai bahot jyada thrilling hua ye match.

Ek time pe toh afg were good in chasing this target. Phir kya hua? Kaha gadbad ho gayi?😢

Marsh: "And SL continue to wrap-up their opponents afor the 12th time, despite the game is written all over for AFG."

Absolutely shocking that no one in their dressing room even seemed to be aware of such a possibility.

You'd never expect such a mistake from an international team, not in this era at least!

Worse was the No.11 (Farooqi) blocking an absolute full toss! He could've got a single, that would've given Rashid a chance to hit a six to win.

Hashmatullah Shahidi after the close loss: "Very disappointed about it. We fought well. We gave our 100%. I am proud of the team - of the way they played, and fought till the last ball. We have played good cricket in ODIs in the last couple of years. But from the last four or five games we were struggling. We are very near to the World Cup. We will learn from and work on what we did here. Our crowd always support us, and we are thankful to them. We try our best to give something to them; we feel sorry for them that we didn't qualify today."

Ifhaam: "This match has surely given the message that AFG isn't a weak team anymore"
