What's new

Afghanistan (188/6) secure a commanding 94-run victory over Hong Kong (94/9) in the opening game of the Asia Cup 2025

HK is the weakest of all sides. Unfortunately for HK, they don't have an associate team in their group.
They will be crushed badly by SL and Ban also
 
I was shocked to see Shukla's reaction when he got Azmat's wkt. After being hit for 3 consecutiive sixes and a four,he got him out on 5th ball but he was celebrating as if he defended 6 runs in the final over of the Match for his team
 
Afhans' bowling is top class. Just spinners and that Farooqi guy... Their batting has always been below par when it comes to handling pressure.
 
Starting off against HK was a blessing for Afghans. Started their campaign with a high NRR. Now just a narrow solitary win against either SL or BD might suffice for qualification.
 
Afghanistan batting is always one shot away from complete meltdown. They don't quiet get the grasp of how to manage collapses. Partly because utter lack of batting depth. Even top tieer team will struggle if they are top heavy. India had this issue for like 5 or 6 years under Kohli. Everything has to go just perfect in the batting department. Srilanka on the other hand has decent batting depth. BD also had decent batting depth.
few days before Tri Series i did Mention that Afg rely on openers to perform.. They shuffled Zadran with Atal at top but it remains pretty much same. If their top 3 Fail , It becomes extremely difficult for them to beat decent teams
