It was Afghanistan's first ODI victory against Pakistan in eight attempts and the outcome leaves defending champions England at the bottom of the points table. "This win tastes nice," a beaming Shahidi said after their second victory in five matches. Teenage spinner Noor Ahmad (3-49) dismissed Abdullah Shafique (58) and Mohammad Rizwan (eight) in his successive overs in his memorable World Cup debut. Shaheen Afridi returned to break the burgeoning stand, dismissing Gurbaz, but Zadran and Rahmat Shah, who made 77 not out, continued the good work. Hasan Ali ended Zadran's gallant knock but Shah and Shahidi milked the Pakistan attack with consummate ease during their unbroken 96-run stand to seal a memorable victory over their neighbours.

Trott said it was a brave decision to bat first but admitted they were well short on a "350-360 wicket". Trott said his players would have benefited from having the match at the same venue where they play defending champions England on Sunday. Afghanistan are playing at their third World Cup and have now lost 16 of their 17 matches, their only victory coming against Scotland in 2015. "Azmat played really well, stepping up to number five and showing the talent and the pedigree that he's got as an all-rounder," Trott said. "So those are the things we're looking to get right going forward and get ready for England."

[1/9] Cricket - ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 - India v Afghanistan - Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, India - October 11, 2023 India's Rohit Sharma in action as he hits four runs REUTERS/Anushree Fadnavis Acquire Licensing RightsNEW DELHI, Oct 11 (Reuters) - World Cup hosts India cantered to their second successive win of the tournament after captain Rohit Sharma's incendiary century set up their eight-wicket thrashing of Afghanistan on Wednesday. Electing to bat, Afghanistan were 63-3 in the 14th over before skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi (80) and Azmatullah Omarzai (62) combined in a 121-run stand to frustrate India. Rohit became the first batter to smash five hundreds in a single World Cup in the tournament's previous edition in England and Wales four years ago. Rohit treated Rashid with disdain, hitting him for back-to-back fours and following it with a six, but the spinner eventually had his revenge. Rohit lost his stumps to Rashid attempting a slog-sweep but Kohli stayed put to guide India home.

KABUL, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq has returned to the Afghanistan one-day squad for the upcoming World Cup in India more than two years after playing his last ODI.

Rashid Khan will spearhead a spin attack that also includes Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Noor Ahmad. All-rounder Gulbadin Naib, who led the team when they finished bottom at the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales, is one of three reserve players. Afghanistan will kick off their World Cup campaign on Oct. 7 against Bangladesh in Dharamsala.
