In a historic event, Afghanistan stunned Pakistan with their chase in Chepauk and easily defeated them in the league round of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Afghanistan have defeated Pakistan by 8 wickets to get their maiden ODI WIN against their neighbours. Pakistan’s chances of qualifying for the top four are also dwindling. This is Afghanistan’s second World Cup 2023 victory; they previously defeated England by 69 runs in Delhi.
After seven ODI defeats to Pakistan, Afghanistan finally overcame Pakistan on Monday in Chennai. While Afghanistan captain Hasmatullah, who scored the winning run, claimed the victory “tastes sweet,” experienced allrounder Mohammed Nabi believed it was larger than the prior victory against England.
