Najibullah Zadran, Rahmat Shah steer Afghanistan to 207 vs Austraia

By Saurabh Sharma June 01, 2019 • 21:57 PM View: 2917

Bristol, June 1 (CRICKETNMORE): Afghanistan rode on Najibullah Zadran's half-century and Rahmat Shah's 43 to set a 208-run target for defending champions Australia in their World Cup opener as Pat Cummins (3/40) and Adam Zampa (3/60) rattled the Afghan batting line-up at the County Ground here on Saturday.

The war-torn nation got off to a worst possible start after opting to bat first, losing openers Mohammad Shahzad (0) and Hazratullah Zazai (0) with just five runs on the board before Shah came to his side's rescue. Shan stablised the innings with a valiant 51-run partnership with Hashmatullah Shahidi (18 off 34), taking Afghanistan past the 50-run mark.
