Men's ODI WC: 'Dropped Catches Cost Us', Says Afghanistan Captain Shahidi After Australia Escape To Victory From 91/7
World Champions Australia: Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi on Tuesday admitted that two dropped chances by his fielders off Glenn Maxwell denied his team a memorable and sensational victory against five-time World Champions Australia in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium here.
After scoring a challenging 291/5 off 50 overs thanks to a brilliant unbeaten 129 by Ibrahim Zadran, the first century for Afghanistan in the World Cup, and a breezy 18-ball 35 by Rashid Khan, Shahidi's team had pushed Australia to the brink of defeat, reducing them to 91/7 in the 19th over.
But Glenn Maxwell and Pat Cummins raised an amazing 202-run partnership for the 8th wicket partnership with Maxwell scoring a sensational 128-ball 201 not out and Cummins remaining unbeaten on 12 off 68.
