Afghanistan gained lot of respect in this world cup but the game vs India just threw it all in the gutters
- They had 8 Wickets in Hand and refused to accelerate the score with 13 overs in hand.
- The Bowling / Fielding was very questionable
Never seen a player quit on his team in middle of World Cup Specially when his nation is on verge of qualification to Semi Finals with 1 win needed
The moment when Afghanistan stopped playing
13 Overs , played as Test Cricket
- Singles , Dot Balls or Occasional 4 every 2 overs
- No 2 Run Double was attempted !!!
A team who wanted to win would be going for 4's , and 6's every ball they had 78 Balls , and also go for 2 Runs
Only '8' of 78 balls were dispatched to Boundary this is how poor Afghanistan were !!!
Mean while Guptil for Newzeland had 13 Boundaries by himself 1 player
He used 56 Balls to score massive 93 , just shows what is possible
If Guptil was chasing 162 from 78 balls , he would have needed 65 runs off 22 Balls
However , Afghan players were equally wasteful in start of inning
4 Players wasted 44 balls for only 1 run a ball
