Nabi, Shahidi, Rahmat boost Afghanistan's semi-final chances with big win​

Their 111-ball win was swiftly wrapped up after Netherlands crashed to 179

Afghanistan 181 for 3 (Shahidi 56*, Rahmat 52, van Beek 1-30) beat Netherlands 179 (Engelbrecht 58, Nabi 3-28) by seven wickets

Netherlands were undone by four run-outs, a stumping and a spin chokehold in Lucknow, as Afghanistan improved their outside chances of making the semi-finals with a fourth win in seven games, this time also boosting their net run-rate along with it.

Their 111-ball win chasing 180 was swiftly wrapped up courtesy contributions of 52 from Rahmat Shah and 56 from Hashmatullah Shahidi, but the meat of the action took place in the first half where Afghanistan bowled well in parts, but were helped along the way by regular errors from Netherlands.

Netherlands had begun the day with their best batting start of the World Cup by reaching 72 for 1 in 11 overs, mostly on the back of Max O'Dowd's early assault. But O'Dowd's search for a second run in the 12th over resulted in his run-out after Azmatullah Omarzai effected a direct hit from fine leg.

The run-outs then inexplicably continued as a well-set Colin Ackermann (29) was slow to react to a single call from Sybrand Engelbrecht. Next ball, Scott Edwards didn't know where the ball went after he mis-hit a reverse sweep, and by the time he realised, wicketkeeper Ikram Alikhil had broken his stumps. A short squeeze by Mohammad Nabi, Noor Ahmed and Rashid Khan followed, after which Engelbrecht - the man who was holding the innings together - too was run-out after Roelof van der Merwe called him for a single that wasn't there.

If they upset aus and england

Phool Saaport Sir!

Imagine if Fakhar had been selected against South Africa and Afghanistan would have been a different ball game

Hindsight is a beautiful thing. Perhaps the break did good for Fakhar to get back his mojo as he appeared to had been struggling since Asia cup. Brought back his determination.
