T20 World Cup: Afghanistan crush Canada by 82 runs to bow out on a high

Ibrahim Zadran struck a fluent unbeaten 95 while Mohammed Nabi took four wickets for just seven runs as Afghanistan signed off from the T20 World Cup with a comprehensive 82-run victory over Canada, here Thursday. Canada signed off without a win from the tournament while Afghanistan had their second win. The Rashid-Khan led side was clearly the better team and had it won the cliffhanger against South Africa, the side would have avoided an early elimination. In a battle of pride between two already-eliminated sides, Afghanistan rode on a blazing unbeaten knock from Zadran to post a formidable 200 for four and then restricted Canada to 118 for 8 to seal an emphatic win. With both teams aiming to return home on a high, Afghanistan produced a commanding batting effort after being sent in to bat. Canada's chase never really gathered momentum after captain Dilpreet Bajwa's brief 13 off seven ended in the third over. They slipped to 33 for three inside six overs, with Mohammad Nabi strik

Experience comes when you play big teams in bilateral series: Rashid Khan

Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan called for more bilateral series against stronger cricketing nations after his team signed off from the T20 World Cup on a high, defeating Canada in their final group match here on Thursday. Afghanistan played some exhilarating cricket, going down to South Africa in a gripping second Super Over after the scores were tied, a humdinger that provided one of the early thrills of the World Cup. However, the spin-bowling stalwart said Afghanistan could make significant strides if they get regular opportunities to compete against stronger cricketing nations. "Couple of areas to improve, with the batting, the middle order got a bit stuck against the big teams, and then with the bowling the death overs. That comes when you play the bigger teams in bilateral series," said Rashid after his team defeat Canada by 82 runs, with him returning excellent figures of 2 for 19. The stalwart said the side had arrived well prepared for the tournament and produced some ...

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan paid a rich tribute to outgoing head coach Jonathan Trott, saying the former England batter has played a major role in putting the side on the right path and elevating the standards of Afghan cricket. Afghanistan will face Canada in their last match of the campaign, which will also bring the curtain down on Trott's stint. "We have a series against Sri Lanka straight after the World Cup and then the IPL. Tomorrow is Jonathan Trott's last game with us. We've had some unbelievable games and tours with him. He has been someone who has taken Afghanistan cricket to where it is now," Rashid said on the eve of their match against Canada. "I think he has worked so hard with every single one. Definitely everyone around will miss him so much. He played a main role in taking this team on the right way, right path."
