NEW DELHI: Afghanistan's extraordinary 69-run victory over the World Cup's defending champions, England, will instill the belief that they can compete with cricket's top nations for many years to come, according to coach Jonathan Trott.
Afghanistan managed to post a total of 284 runs, with half-centuries from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ikram Alikhil, and then bowled out England for just 215, securing only their second-ever World Cup win, eight years after their initial victory over Scotland in 2015.
