"England have crashed to another upset World Cup defeat with Afghanistan stunning the reigning 50-over champions and sending Australia crashing to the bottom of the standings.
Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz set up the 69-run win in Delhi with a dashing 57-ball 80 that included eight fours and four sixes as Afghanistan were dismissed for 284 with one ball left after being sent in.
While everyone chipped in with the ball as the wickets were shared between five bowlers, it was their global superstars Rashid Khan (3-37) and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (3-51) who did the bulk of the damage with three wickets apiece.
Rashid (23 off 22) and Mujeeb (28 off 16) also contributed valuable lower order runs to push Afghanistan's total towards 300 after they slipped to 6-190 at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.
The pair formed crucial seventh and eighth wicket partnerships of 43 and 44 respectively with Ikram Alikhil (58)."

No, he hasn't played. Is he even in the squad? Maybe not a white-ball bowler?K wrote:...BTW, next match is against SL. Is Jayasuriya playing?? FTB fanboys will be peeing in their pants!!K wrote:BTW, Santner picked up 5 wickets for NZ last game. (Against minnows, but still...) ...
As y'all know, Santner bowls SLA. Flat-track bully Steve Smith was destroyed yet again by the SLA of Jadeja in Oz's first game. Smith has a known weakness against the ball that spins away. ('Cos his defective technique is to swipe across the line of the ball to legside. Otherwise he can't score.)
So when does Oz play NZ??

Oz and NZ play in a coupla weeks.
