Netherlands vs Afghanistan LIVE Score

Afghanistan's relentless pursuit of clinical run-chases continues, solidifying their status as a formidable force in the current cricket scene. A target of 179 seemed meager on a decent batting track, leaving the Netherlands in a precarious position at the midway point. Engelbrecht's fifty spared the Dutch from an even bleaker outlook. Gurbaz fell cheaply, courtesy of van Beek's precise line down the leg side, while Zadran succumbed to van der Merwe's guile. However, Afghanistan felt no scoreboard pressure. Rahmat Shah displayed fluency from the outset, complemented by the steady Shahidi. Together, they accumulated runs at a brisk pace, effectively sidelining the Netherlands. Despite the bowlers' efforts, their insufficient run total left them wanting. The decision to bat first after winning the toss proved disadvantageous for the Netherlands. The ball behaved favorably under the evening lights, with dew adding to Afghanistan's advantage. Rahmat Shah secured his third consecutive fifty but couldn't guide his team across the finish line. Nevertheless, Shahidi, with an unbeaten fifty, and Omarzai, steered Afghanistan to a convincing triumph. The Afghani spinners, especially Nabi, displayed relentless excellence, with Nabi delivering his most outstanding spell of the tournament.

AFG vs NED Live: Afghanistan Captain 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 according to the situation and achieving for the team. (On Mohammad Nabi) He is a special player. Whenever the team needs him, he shows the way. We all are very united, we all are enjoying the wins and all of them are thinking about the team. We are trying our best to make it to the semi-finals. If we make it, it would be a big achievement for us. I lost my mother three months back, so my family is in pain, so it will be a big achievement for our country first and then for me also. I would like to give a message - there are a lot of our refugee people in struggle, we all are watching their videos and we feel their pain. I dedicate this win for them."

AFG vs NED Live: Mohammad Nabi After Winning 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."
