Men's ODI WC: Our Performance Proves That Gap With Top Teams Has Reduced, Says Afghanistan Captain Shahidi
ODI World Cup: Afghanistan's brilliant performance in the ongoing ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 is an indicator that the gap between them and the top teams has reduced, skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi admitted as his boys get ready to take on five-time World Champions Australia in a crucial match on Tuesday.
Afghanistan, who had won only one match in their first two appearances in the World Cups, have so far won four out of their eight matches in the 2023 edition, registering stunning wins against England, neighbours Pakistan and Sri Lanka, all three previous winners of the World Cup.
Their performance has put them in contention for a place in the semifinals as they are currently tied with New Zealand and Pakistan on eight points from four wins.
