"We all want to win the World Cup. Realistically if we win 4-5 games, we give ourselves the chance to get into the semifinals. That is our first aim.

"Our players played a lot in IPL. Other players who didn't play IPL have also played in these conditions because India was our home. We know about the conditions and we will take that advantage with us throughout the tournament," said Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi.


It is true, so many players like Naveen-ul-Haq, Rahnulaah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan and more have experience of Indian conditions. Surely, the team will look to take full advantage of that fact in this tournament.
