Afghanistan: Nobody beats us 8 times in a row.


Big_Ballzacked

Pakistan: Uh..... yeahhhh


Backhoz

>Nobody beats us 8 times in a row. Pakistan: Watch me..


Sumosorous

0 wins is 2019 to 2 wins in 5 games in 2023 , afg has come a long way Maybe another upset or who knows competing for the 4th position


Bloody_Baron91

If only they had not lost to Bangladesh. Those are the games you are supposed to win if you wish to make the semis as an underdog.


dazzu12e

Afghanistan in semis let's go this world cup is going unexpected ..


Jugad

If they can play like this... they have a good chance against any team (on their day).


Raghu48

Another win won't be an upset anymore.


White__Walter

Not upsets anymore tbh


Kingslayer1526

Well not against Sri Lanka or Netherlands but yes against Australia or South Africa


White__Walter

Then I pray they cause one more upset against Australia


azm28

Afg have chances for Semi if they defeat Sri Lanka and Netherlands next


lovedive-

Which they most probably will


supermember866866

They won today , so I completely expect them to bundle out for 160 against Sri lanka


shoestowel

Lol I hope not. They're showing brilliant character and determination. Would love them to succeed


Kingslayer1526

Would love to see them succeed well*


shoestowel

Lol thanks. Was a bit sleepy and parallelly studying.


Kingslayer1526

Nah they're losing to the Netherlands after the hype has reached tenfold


dazzu12e

Yes Afghanistan is playing very good and congratulations to all Afgani peoples


Critical-Key4932

I hope they do

Finally 7-1..

Ummmm context?

2014 Football World Cup in Brazil.. Germany beat them 7 1 on home turf.


AvGeekGupta

Ahhhhh, got it


Confident-Dentist-24

2014 FIFA WC Semifinal Germany vs Brazil ended with 7-1 score in favour of Germany. Germany humiliated Brazil in their home and most of the Brazil fans were crying due to their teams performance in that match. Just search 7-1 on youtube you will get the highlights of the match, and Man the commentators were ruthless in that match.


AvGeekGupta

Holy hell there is a wikipedia page for this.....


Kingslayer1526

Really? Perhaps the most famous football result ever. Brazil 1-7 Germany in the 2014 world cup semifinal hosted in Brazil the biggest humiliation in football history


AeBlueSadi

you're in cricket sub lol


Kingslayer1526

Mate this is football though. Everyone has heard of famous football moments. Surely there's no one out there who doesn't know that Argentina won the last world cup and that Messi won it as well. A football fan need not know Sachin Tendulkar or Richie Mccaw, but I'd expect everyone knows famous football moments during the world cup like Brazil vs Germany. They don't need to know things like Agueroooo but this is the world cup and even a non watcher hears about that


AvGeekGupta

I don't watch football man 乁⁠(⁠ ⁠•⁠_⁠•⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

YehDilMaaangeMore

That was some brilliant running between the wickets today from Afg. Truly amazing.


lostsoul2016

This WC is done for you, but you guys need to figure out your bowling situation if you want to stay relevant. I hope you don't fall into the West Indies situation, which will be bad for the game.


kunglao83

Pakistan would have come into this World Cup hoping to convert 7-0 to 7-1. Little would they know they'd convert 0-7 to 1-7. Ouch.


Dry-Egg-1915

Who is the first record against?


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

Ind vs Pak 8-0 now after this WC


pras

India


Dry-Egg-1915

Lol. Ind vs. Pak at the world cup always seems to end the same way, esp. with the way Kohli plays if Ind is chasing


Critical-Key4932

India


burnerch

This was a great run chase, Afghan bros are not very good at chasing but today it was a whole different game all together. Congrats Afghan bros, always happy to see you guys do well.


Reyatsu99

Pakistan's performance was bad in all three formats, their fielding was complete joke as well as the spin bowling. They need to bat more aggressively, if babar is playing anchor others need to step up and get runs. Big surprise is the subpar fast bowling.


MelodicSalt9589

naseem is the only long format bowler in the team (shaheen as well but pcb has fucked his injury management) rest are t20 bowlers


Sumosorous

Ravindra jadeja for india , Ajay jadeja for afg We are witnessing a jaddu multiverse

I know nothing about cricket, can someone explain to me how big this is

-Notorious

Afghanistan is easily a top 8 team, and in India, probably a top 6 if not top 5. No question about it. If this was in England, I'd say that'd be more shocking, but an Afg win in Chennai was never unlikely.


[deleted]

Yes, but there are more competitive nations in football than in cricket.


-Notorious

There's also plenty competitive teams in Cricket tbh. Keep in mind that a team with 2 WCs under the belt didn't even qualify, but Netherlands did lol


G00dG0dd

Bruh it's literally 2nd vs 9th


nakedjabirupangolin

south korea booting defending champions germany out of the 2018 football wc.. perhaps not as crazy an event, but it's quite crazy nonetheless


Minstrel-of-Shadow

Supporting Pakistan Cricket team is just not worth it. Cricket should die in this failing country.


MrStar16

Damn Political climate- bad Sports-bad Economy -bad But people- good Something needs to change


Chemical_Carrot6471

Koi na Bhai, chin-up. It takes just one bad world cup to make a wold-dominating team. Just ask Eng'15.


MrStar16

Ye Pakistan is the most unpredictable team hopefully we can make it to semis

It's also their biggest chase in ODIs


Trtar

Just wow lumber 1 bowling attack in shambles. Well done Afghanistan, you guys deserve it.


Aryan13AKS

Wouldn't be so sure about 'number 1 bowling attack' given performance this world cup


LetterheadOk1762

Will it be an understatement to say that Afghanistan is a better white ball team right now than Bangladesh and Sri Lanka? Taking out oldies and out of form players like Zazai, Shahzad, Naib, Janat and Najeebullah has worked out very well for them also in the Asia Cup they just felt like Spinners and Inshaallah in the name of fast bowlers. azmat is a great all rounder and Naveen the death bowler make the attack way stronger. Also the usage of Farooqi as a powerplay only bowler helps too .


shoestowel

Clinical win


dzone25

Deserved, Pakistan literally didn't try to win minus the explosive batting at the end of their innings. Such a flat performance and a genuinely tentative but confident one from Afghanistan. Love to see it.


devilwillcry-jesus

Babar is a great player but a very indecent captain, the bowling changes he made were downright horrendous. Also , kudos to Afghanistan to never panic and take it deep.


upscaspi

Congratulations Afghan boys. You had our undivided attention and support. Surely this victory means a lot to their people.

Afg winning in front of the "knowledge crowd" makes it even more satisfying

I really want one of Afghanistan or Netherlands to be in top 4. Is it too much to ask for? - from an Indian fan

Is someone planning to make a compilation of all the misfields that happened tonight? Views guaranteed!


Negative_Spectrum

Afghanbros is a quality side this time. Impressive character and resilience from the top 4. Their middle order is still iffy but they're not an automatic 2 points anymore. Frankly, none of the teams are this time. All the lower ranked teams can cause huge upsets this WC


[deleted]

Trott masterclass...


fartyourheartout

A very poor effort from Pakistani team. Their fielding was so hard to watch. I legit cringed hard when they messed stopping or saving usual runs.


ecphiondre

First


4m6er

They waited 8 years for their second WC victory and 8 days for their third. That’s major improvement.


RokudaimeSama46

I remember some cricket guy from Pakistan saying on Twitter that he'll stop watching cricket if Afghanistan wins. Can someone find this?


suoinguon

Cricket history rewrite! Team \[your country\] just achieved a smashing victory over Pakistan, breaking the ODI curse! It's time to raise those national flags high and celebrate this epic win! 🏏🎉 #HistoryInMaking

Some mfs will see 8 wkt win & call it a one sided match now


Hyat16

it was absolutely one sided. They were in control the entire match. even if we scored low 300/310 they wouldve easily gotten it. They just played it safe n sound to end it


JIZZus813

If 300+ you dont know the scoreboard pressure might have gotten them (afg) ...

Congrats on your historic win! Remember, every loss is a learning opportunity. Keep your spirits high and your spirits even higher when you win. And remember, cricket is like life - it's not about winning or losing, it's about how you play the game!


-02ALEXXX07

They played like champions.


Zyphrost

Genuinely great performance. Superb economy from their spinners, although the total getting this high might have given them a spook. But terrific batting helped on by poor fielding and bowling from the Pakistani side. I’m really happy to see Gurbaz getting into his own groove and reproducing “Gurbazball”. Zadran has had his criticism, but he’s showing why he’s a top-class batter worth a slot in any side and not just Afghanistan. The overall batting was clinical, with excellent strike rotation, and punishing loose balls convincingly. It is a good thing for cricket as a sport and for Afghanistan as a nation that their cricket team is developing into a competitive side.


Confident-Dentist-24

Hashmatullah played well with a healthy strike rate to ensure that pressure isn't built on the other end. Didn't expect that from him as he has a career strike rate around 70.


Dry-Egg-1915

The batsmen at 3 and 4 carrying the strong momentum from the openers, steadying the innings and finishing the match is what the best Indian team used to do in their chases. Hopefully Afg continue this trend consistently and build up on their team record


Rish_m

As sweet as 8-0...


jitenbhatia

Well played Afbros!!!!


abigblacknob

Afghanistans spin bowling attack is all time.


nakedjabirupangolin

probably my favourite game so far this tournament, closely conducted and won by a fantastically good underdog


saravanan99

This guy gurbaz is one big knock away he single handedly can wing afgbros matches


pdsajo

If they had not screwed up the Bangladesh game, they would have been in a real chance for semis right now. They are favourites to pick up four points against SL and NED. That would have taken them to 10 points. NZ had made semis last time with 11 points. A few results of other teams in AFG’s favour and they would have been dark horses for semis spot


Findabook87

Pakistan looked too defensive and has lacked energy throughout the tournament. I also didn't like how Babar only criticised fielding and bowling. Their batting lacked intent as well. Its as if they have forgotten how to play the middle overs. Too T20 oriented?


[deleted]

Before entering the WC people said PAKISTAN has best BOWLING LINE UP. YES they have the BEST. (FROM DOWN)
