4th of July, 42nd match : Afghan vs West Indies

ICC Cricket World Cup at Leeds, Jul 4 2019

"Hum to dube hai sanam, tujhe bhi lekar dubenge "
"We are already drowned darling, but we'll take you with us. "

Afghanistan's young cricketing history as they toppled the two-time World Cup winners West indies
to make a statement that they deserved to be here.

Unfortunately, the only statement that the world seems to remember from their 2019 campaign

is Gulbadin Naib's quip ahead of the match ~

Afghanistan have beaten West Indies thrice in their last four completed matches.

Can they add another win to their kitty?
