Cricket World Cup 2023: Hashmatullah Shahidi Dedicates Afghanistan Victory To 'Struggling Refugees'
Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi dedicated his team's World Cup victory over the Netherlands on Friday to "struggling refugees" at home and insisted he is still "dreaming" of reaching the semi-finals. Afghanistan swept to a seven-wicket triumph with 111 balls to spare to record a fourth win at the tournament after already shocking defending champions England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. With two group games left, they have eight points, the same as Australia and New Zealand although their rivals boast better net run rates.
