Afghans can do it
It is amazing. It is magnificent for cricket. The Afghans overcame stumbling block like Himalayans, and the ocean like Pacific to tell the world that the Afghans will someday or the other capture the World title.
The Asian country beat Ireland by five wickets in a crucial match to sail into the finale of the World Cup Cricket 2019 to the rejoice of 34.66 million people. It is bordered by Pakistan in the south and east; Iran in the west; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan in the north; and in the far northeast, China. Its territory covers 652,000 square kilometers. Afghan’s economy is the world’s 108th, with a GDP of 64.08 billion dollar
In the preliminary qualifications, they won one match only out of four and were lucky to have reached the super six. But they had no point with them, yet the undaunted and brave Afghans won all the five matches of the super six to make it history-a red-letter day, ushering in a new era. Now we believe that cricket ball will bring peace in this part of the world. Let us wait patiently to enjoy more Afghan skills next year and to take lessons. We thank the Afghans boys.
