The juggernaut rolls on for Afghanistan and the self-belief in their camp would be sky high! They have always been valiant fighters and with momentum on their side, the fire will be burning intensely in their bellies! They effected as many as four run-outs and that lifted their side up!
Hashmatullah Shahidi: I would say both, we bowled well but the run-chase also. It's the third time we are achieving a target. Especially in this World Cup, we are looking at the target of the opposition. We are playing
Scott Edwards: Definitely not ideal! Four run-outs from our top five batters.

Mohammad Nabi, Player of the Match: Just focused on my line and length, focused on bowling dot balls. Always try to be consistent with my line and length and use my variations. Always stick to my plans and use the angles. Variations are more variable on some pitches and that’s why I get wickets. I always try to keep it tight and hence bowl with a good economy. Work on my fitness and my diet, still my body is going good and happy to play for Afghanistan.
