Afghanistan’s Historic Win Over Australia Praised by Wasim Jaffer

Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer praised Afghanistan after their historic win over Australia in St Vincent. Jaffer emphasized that calling the victory a fluke would be disrespectful to the Rashid Khan-led team.

Key Moments in the Match

Gulbadin Naib’s four-wicket haul and Naveen’s crucial dismissal of Ashton Agar were pivotal in Afghanistan’s 21-run triumph. The surprise was evident in Afghanistan’s dugout as they neared one of the biggest upsets in the tournament’s history.

Maxwell’s Effort

While chasing 149, Glenn Maxwell’s 59 off 41 deliveries brought nostalgia to the stadium, reminiscent of his ODI World Cup 2023 heroics. However, Naib forced a thick edge, and Noor Ahmad’s sharp catch ended Maxwell’s threat.

Australia never recovered after Maxwell’s dismissal and were all out for 127. They now face a must-win game against unbeaten India to secure a spot in the final four.
