Rashid
Khan, Afghanistan's star spinner, played a pivotal role in guiding his team to
a competitive total of 291 for 5 in their allotted 50 overs against Australia
at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. While Ibrahim Zadran made history by becoming the
first Afghan player to score a century in the World Cup, it was Rashid Khan, a
favorite among the crowd, who stole the spotlight with an electrifying
performance, scoring 35 runs from just 18 deliveries.
With
impressive power and precision, Rashid Khan hit two boundaries and three sixes
and remained unbeaten. His remarkable cameo in the 50th over, where he
plundered 16 runs off Mitchell Starc, added the finishing touches to
Afghanistan's innings. Rashid Khan's late-innings blitz ensured that
Afghanistan had a competitive total to defend against the formidable Australian
lineup.
