NEW DELHI: The weekenaf10152023228787gone by has been tough for Afghanistan. The country has been ravaged by a massive earthquake. More than 1,000 people were killed. The ongoing ODI World Cup also didn’t bring much joy after losses to Bangladesh and India. Sunday, however, was different.
The smiles were back on the faces of Afghan cricketers, courtesy their English counterparts. A 69-run win over the reigning champions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium at the biggest stage of all – the World Cup — is indeed epic, a win that’ll bring some solace back home as Afghanistan is a cricket-crazy country.
