Afghanistan secures big win against Netherlands

Sport

Afghanistan managed to gain two crucial points in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup with an emphatic win over the Netherlands in Lucknow.
Rahmat Shah (52) and Hashmatullah Shahidi (56*) stood tall for Afghanistan with a stand of 74 runs for the third wicket. Despite, managing to eke out early wickets, the Netherlands weren't quite in the game due to their modest outing in the first innings. 

Erratic running resulted in the loss of four Dutch batters while the rest of the wickets were snared by Afghanistan spinners. Keeper Ikram Alikhil stood out for his sharp work behind the stumps, being involved in three run-outs, a stumping, and two catches.

With this third win on a trot, Afghanistan sit with eight points on the World Cup table and have boosted their chances of a knockout spot.
