There is strength to surprise in Afghanistan
Afghanistan team is emerging fast in world cricket. The team, which has become a sensation in Asian cricket, has surprised big teams in the last few years with their performance. Where he has left his special impression in the ICC event. Afghanistan has the power to set up big teams. Where he has shown this light. There is no unknown to that. In the ODI World Cup 2023, Afghanistan defeated big teams like England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. So the 2024 T20 World Cup cannot be forgotten. Where this team defeated Australia and New Zealand. It is clear that the Afghan team has the ability to surprise big teams at any time. The team has some match winner players like Rahmanullah Gurbaz to Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan and Fazal Har Farooqui. If they are covered, they can make the front team their prey. In such a situation, this team cannot be taken lightly.
Lack of experience can be interrupted for team
Without any doubt and question of Afghanistan, this mega will play as an under-dog of the tournament. Here this team can do one or 2 big setbacks. The Afghan team has the power to do a lot of amazing in batting to bowling. But for this team, when it comes to the biggest weakness in the Champions Trophy, it can be the inexperience of the team. The Afghan team is currently in its early stages. In such a situation, he does not have a special experience of playing big matches. The team players have been seen disintegrating in big matches. As the T20 World Cup had laid down unilaterally against South Africa in the semi -final match of 2024. So that match cannot be forgotten, when he reached a win against Australia in the ODI World Cup 2023. But Glenn Maxwell broke the dream of the Afghan team alone. So it can be assumed that the inexperience of Afghanistan can come in the way of his team.
These players of Afghanistan will have special eyesight
Rahmanullah Gurbaz- The success of Afghanistan team has been successful for some time. Wicketkeeper batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz has contributed very important in this. This batsman has performed specially for his team every time and against every team. Talking about Gurbaz, he is one of the biggest X factor for the Afghan team. In such a situation, there is a lot of hope in this tournament.
Rashid Khan- Afghanistan’s mystery spin bowler Rashid Khan has become a big name in world cricket. This player has established himself as a game changer. Rashid Khan has forced big batsmen to kneel with his spin. So at the same time they bat amaling. In such a situation, Rashid Khan is going to prove to be a trump card in the Champions Trophy for Afghanistan.
Mohammad Nabi- The Afghanistan cricket team has a tremendous experienced player like Mohammad Nabi. This player has amazing ability. Which is the team’s base column in the middle order along with the bowling of spin. Mohammad Nabi shows a very big impact for this team. Not in such a situation, but everyone will have an eye in the Champions Trophy. They cannot be ignored in any way.
