World Cup 2023: Pressure will be on Sri Lanka because of our spinners, says Afghanistan captain Shahidi

Afghanistan, after securing victories against England and Pakistan, is currently enjoying a successful World Cup campaign. Nonetheless, their captain, Hashmatullah Shahidi, remains focused on the immediate future. With two wins out of five games, a potential triumph over Sri Lanka in Pune on Monday (October 30) would position them favorably for semi-final qualification. Shahidi expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance and their positive outlook, considering this to be their best-ever World Cup tournament.

“The team is doing good and we are all happy. I can say that we had a good tournament so far and looking forward to the other games also. It will be the best ever tournament for us in World Cup history,” said Shahidi.
