Rashid Khan hopes for 'big celebration' in earthquake-ravaged Afghanistan after England win

Rashid Khan has always been in tune with the struggles of the Afghanistan people. At the time of the Taliban takeover, he was in the UK, playing in the Hundred, and all he wanted was "peace". Now, in the aftermath of earthquakes that have wreaked immense damage in Herat, he hoped that their humbling of the men's ODI World Champions England may give the nation some form of solace. "It will be a major festival back home," he told Star Sports after the game "We don't have that sort of wins and that sort of circumstance back home in Afghanistan where individuals could celebrate. I think cricket is the main source which gives them bunches of joy and heaps of good recollections and individuals back home simply pause. We have lost such countless games yet at the same time the sort of help we got from them...and they are so energized for us to play in that stage." "Dominating the match against Britain was a major one for us, back home they will be so glad. Recently, we've had a tremor back home in Afghanistan in Herat where heaps of individuals lost their lives, more than 3000. Around 2000 individuals' homes were annihilated. This triumph will provide them with a tad of grin on their countenances and they could tad fail to remember those intense days." Coming into the game, Afghanistan's just success at the World Cup in 17 endeavors, came against Scotland, thinking back to the 2015 release. Yet, having piled up their second-most noteworthy score at this competition, the Afghanistan turn triplet of Rashid, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi wove their enchantment as Britain went somewhere around 69 runs in Delhi - their second misfortune in three games. Rashid assumed an immense part in the success, both with the bat and ball. He previously scored a significant 23-ball 22 coming lower down the request to capture a slide as Afghanistan recorded 284 in 49.5 overs. He then, at that point, followed it up with a three-wicket pull agreeing with his stance to the greatest bombshell of the opposition this year. "Against a major group like Britain, it generally gives you a sort of enormous lift. We had extremely extreme games in the Asia Cup and the series against Pakistan," he said. "We were exceptionally close there however we were not dominating those matches, which was frustrating to the players since they were really buckling down and toward the end they were finishing on some unacceptable side. They were not getting the right sort of energy and lift up. This success will provide us with a ton of energy until the end of the opposition. Presently we have the conviction that we can beat any side whenever." While Rashid's significant commitment accompanied the ball as he eliminated Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid and Imprint Wood, that isn't what made them grin from one ear to another. "More than the three wickets, it was the 23 runs that were urgent. I was so content with that, particularly the cover drive off Imprint Wood," he said, "That is something I'm more amped up for after the game than my three wickets. That was the sort of commitment I needed to have for the group. Blissful after quite a while to get three wickets. I was battling a smidgen to get the wickets too however glad to get them at an exceptionally urgent time." Alongside Rashid, the other significant impact in the game was Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman who previously hammered a 16-ball 28 preceding picking 3 for 51 off his ten overs to bring back home the Player-of-the-Match prize. After Fazalhaq Farooqi set the ball moving with the wicket of Jonny Bairstow, Mujeeb ruined Joe Root's stumps inside the powerplay. "As a spinner, it is exceptionally difficult to bowl in the powerplay. You have just two defenders outside yet that is something I have been dealing with in the nets," Mujeeb said at the show. "Bowling with the new ball there and I make an honest effort to be however reliable as could be expected and that seems to be something which made me more viable. In the powerplay, you don't have a significant part of the areas to bowl more extensive or leg stump however I generally make an honest effort to bowl stump to stump and simplify it for myself. "At the point when I'm bowling in the nets, same outlook and same mindset. I'm bowling into the wicket and that is where I'm partaking in my bowling. "It's an extremely pleased second to be here On the planet Cup and beating the last World Cup champions. It is an extraordinary accomplishment for the entire country, for the entire group and I think it is a sort of chance and we have buckled down during the current day to overtake such a major group thus glad for this presentation." Commander Hashmatullah Shahidi named this success against Britain as Afghanistan's ideal and was sure that this was only the beginning of his side's process On the planet Cup. "This was the best success that we got today and the certainty will show up for the following games and all the nation will be glad and cheerful," he said. "Last several games we didn't complete well, yet we had the conviction. This isn't the main success that we are searching for. Pushing ahead, we will be positive for the following games. This implies a great deal for us. This was the first, not the final remaining one."
