Chase Against Pakistan Gave Us Belief: Afghanistan Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi
After scaling down a middling target against Sri Lanka with ease in a World Cup game on Monday, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi attributed his team's confidence to its triumphant run chase against Pakistan. Afghanistan hunted down 242 against Lanka in 45.2 overs losing just three wickets to score their first World Cup win over the Islanders. The match Shahidi was referring to was Afghanistan's eight-wicket win over Babar Azam's side in Chennai on October 23, when they chased 282 losing just two wickets. “Pakistan chase gave us a lot of confidence and belief that we can chase any kind of target. We started really well in bowling (against SL) and the chase was very professional and I am very happy about it,” said Shahidi in the post-match presentation.
