By IANS News June 24, 2024 • 13:14 PM View: 401

T20 World Cup Super Eight: Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja "wasn't surprised" by Afghanistan's stunning win over Australia in the T20 World Cup Super Eight match and praised their strength as a team.

Riding on Gulbadin Naib's four-wicket haul after Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran's opening stand of 118, Afghanistan stunned Australia by 21 runs and secured their first-ever win over the cricketing powerhouse.

"Afghanistan is a very strong team. They probably should have won against us in the last World Cup too," Khawaja said at the Prime's cafe launch in Melbourne.
