Afganistan is new force in world cricket for the past few years, they were in the semifinals in last T20 world cup and may be little bit unfortunate loss to south Africa on green top.Pathans are not that team who were come just to participate in icc tournament in the past, In last oneday international world cup 2023 they just lost to the big show(maxwell) against the mighty australians if they hold there catches we might have an india and afgan final , nevertheless past is past but they have a well settled unit this time also have covered all bases have good and in form openers in Gurbax and zadran,Sadiqulaah atal may in top three trust me he has a bright future Rahmat Saha have compact batter on three or four and have experience of Sahidi,Nabi and Rashid they have good allrounder in Nabi,Rashid,Gulbadin and not to forget mr icc odi player 2024 Ajmatullah. In bowling department they have Fajal haq faarokhi Ajmatullah,rashid, Noor and nabi combined to have best spin trio in the tournament. So according to us Afganistan is the Team to look after in this Champions trophy.
Semifinal berth is confirm if they play to their full potential.
Afganistan are in group of death with Australian England and South Africa with three of four sena countries in their group who all struggle to play spin is a huge bonus for afganistan. So best of luck afgan see you in semifinal.
