AUS vs AFG: Afghanistan captain Shahidi blamed them for the defeat, called Mujeeb a villain
Hashmatullah Shahidi on Afghanistan Defeat: Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi has cited poor fielding as the biggest reason for this defeat and in a few gestures has described Mujeeb ur Rehman as the biggest villain.
At one time on Tuesday in the World Cup 2023, the Afghanistan team seemed to be moving towards a big victory by taking 7 wickets over Australia. But, Glenn Maxwell alone thrashed the Afghan bowling in such a way that it could not make a comeback. For Australia, which lost 7 wickets for just 91 runs, Glenn Maxwell scored a stormy double century and snatched victory from the jaws of Afghanistan by achieving the target of 292 runs. Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi has cited poor fielding as the biggest reason for this defeat and in a few gestures has described Mujeeb ur Rehman as the biggest villain.
Hashmatullah Shahidi expressed grief over losing the match and said that it was a very disappointing match for us. The way our bowlers bowled in the beginning, we were in the match. But we missed some chances, which caused a loss. Credit goes to Maxwell for this. He said that I think his missing catch in the beginning was the biggest turning point.
He said that after missing the catch, Glenn Maxwell played brilliantly. They played all kinds of shots and did not give us any chance to recover. Let us tell you that when Maxwell was playing after scoring 33 runs, at the same time Mujeeb Ur Rahman took a simple catch of him.
The captain of the Afghan team also praised the performance of his team during this period. He said that we are proud of the bowlers. All the bowlers have given their best. The team is definitely disappointed, but this is also a part of the game. We will now again take the field with full strength in the next match against South Africa. He also congratulated Ibrahim Zadran and said that he had become the first Afghan player to score a century in the World Cup.
