Irfan Pathan dances as, high-flying Afghanistan keep semi-final hopes alive with win against Lankans
After comprehensively beating Pakistan, Afghanistan continued the momentum against the Lankans. Opting to bowl first, the Afghan bowlers were right on the money and picked up wickets at regular intervals. They restricted the Lankans to just 241. In reply, Afghanistan lost the wicket of Rahmanullah Gurbaz for zero. But Rahmat Shah and Ibrahim Zadran consolidated and put on a 50-plus partnership.
After the dismissal of Zadran, Rahmat, and skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi guided the team to a seven-wicket win. This is the third victory for Afghanistan in six games. With this terrific win, they have kept their semi-final hopes alive. Now, the Afghans need to win at least two of the three remaining matches.
They have matches against Netherlands, Australia, and South Africa. While the Dutch will pose a relatively lesser challenge, Aussie and Proteas will challenge the high-flying Afghanistan. Currently, the Afghans are placed fifth on the points table with six points. Ahead of them are India, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.
