Afghanistan has set a challenging target of 273 runs for India in their second game of the tournament. This impressive total was largely by the batting duo of Azmatullah and Shahidi, both of whom scored half-centuries. Their partnership was key of Afghanistan’s innings and played a crucial role in establishing a competitive target.
Azmatullah and Shahidi’s performance showcased their abilities as reliable middle-order batsmen, especially under the pressure of a global tournament like the World Cup. Their ability to build a partnership during crucial phases of the innings showed their determination and skills.
However, it wasn’t smooth for India’s bowlers, as Mohammed Siraj had a forgettable day on the field. He struggled to dismiss any of the Afghan batsmen and conceded a huge 76 runs without making any significant contributions to India’s wicket tally. Such performances can prove to be costly in this game for India.
