[Kianig89]

The English debacle in subcontinent continues.....

 

[Rajdeep]

Whattay game. Afg is way better team than Bangladesh

 

[jamie smith fan]

The president has nerves made of steel.

 

[BDfanforever]

ODI has always been best format of the game. Growing up watching men in yellow i.e. Aus dominate rest of the teams.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Afghanistan will somehow find a way to lose this game lol

 

[Kianig89]

Unbelievable stuff for AFg and Trott & YK in particular

Mark Wood is a much more dangerous hitter than Rashid

 

[Bhaijaan]

What an over!!!!!



13 to win from 6

 

[Hellion]

13 needed off last over. C'mon !!!!!

[Ab Fan]

The greatest knock by a Muslim cricketer in ODI history.

Ibrahim Zadran

 

[batandballbattle]

Afgahns can't lose now surely

 

[Bhaijaan]

Buttler's captaincy is gone if England lose here.

They starting at a surgery bro

 

[BDfanforever]

Buttler's captaincy is gone if England lose here.

Or opposite, can win from here and go onto win the tournament which would be amazing.

 

[deltexas]

[Kianig89]

Dilly Rash has some domestic 100s

Adil Rashid is just another Pakistan batsman

 

[BDfanforever]

Afghanistan always have one or two character show up big be it Gulbadin, Omarzai, Girbaz, or Zadran. Nevermind, Rashid...

 

[Rajdeep]

Malnourished Rashid and Wood...cant even clear the boundary.

 

[OldWarHorse]

But it's against England B so doesn't matter

 

[deltexas]

What a game! Well played Afg! Congrats. England need to do some soul searching. Think thats the last of Butlers white ball captaincy

 

[jamie smith fan]

Omarzai has been goated today.

 

[mango_bite77]

2nd best team of Asia, congratulations Afghanistan.

Pak players should die in shame

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghanistan have defeated England in both 2023 WC and 2025 CT.

Amazing.

 

[Kianig89]

2019 WC winners, the father of cricket , England knocked out from CT

 

[hafizexpress]

It feels like Azmat has bowled 15 overs. He just kept bowling and bowling

 

[Bhaijaan]

I wish this match was played somewhere in front of a packed stadium and noisier crowd than this dead crowd.

What an absolute jaffa this match bro

 

[Rajdeep]

Gutted

 

[jnaveen1980]

Look at the desperation , anger they showed on the field. They wanted to win.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Congrats Afghanistan and all Pathan posters of the forum.

 

[BDfanforever]

Rashid bro too busy polishing that beard.

 

[Kianig89]

Eng v SA more likely dead rubber, provided Australia will massacre AFG
