Afghanistan lost their first encounter in the Super 12 stages of the ongoing T20 World Cup campaign to Pakistan. The team had a chance at the end, but the penultimate over of the game was poor, and hence, the Afghans lost the game. In this article, we take a look at how Rashid Khan reacted after the loss to Pakistan.
Afghanistan’s chances depend on them pulling off an upset
Coming to a group that has the likes of India, New Zealand and Pakistan, Afghanistan needed an upset to improve their chances of qualifying to the next stage. They won their game against Scotland and the massive NRR had them with a good chance to top the table if they won the game against Pakistan. However, that was not possible. The Afghans now have to win against either India or New Zealand and then wait for a few preferable results if they want to reach the semis.
