Men's ODI WC: Zadran's 129*, Rashid Khan's Lusty Blows Help Afghans Reach 291/5 Against Australia
Opener Ibrahim Zadran: Opener Ibrahim Zadran struck maiden century in the World Cups for Afghanistan as he batted through to their innings to take them to 291/5 against Australia in Match 39 of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium here on Tuesday.
After skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi won the toss and elected to bat on a slow and dry Wankhede pitch that offered a little bit to the bowlers but was good for batting, Zadran kept Afghanistan's hopes alive by carrying his bat through for an unbeaten 129 off 143 balls, hitting eight boundaries and three maximums.
This was Zadran's fifth century in ODIs in his 27th match but the first triple-figure score for his country in the World Cup.Rashid Khan hammered an 18-ball unbeaten 35 to shore up the Afghanistan innings in the slog overs as they scored at over 10 runs per over in the last five overs.
