NEW DELHI: Hashmatullah Shahidi, the captain of Afghanistan, expressed his immense pride in his team's performance despite the heart-wrenching two-run loss to Sri Lanka that eliminated them from the Asia Cup in Lahore on Tuesday.
Afghanistan needed to chase down a challenging target of 292 runs set by Sri Lanka in 37.1 overs to secure a spot in the Super4s, but their run rate proved to be a deciding factor.
