Afghanistan upset England by 69 runs in the 13th game of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in Delhi.
This was Afghanistan's second victory in the history of the ODI World Cup. They had bagged their first win over Scotland in the 2015 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Islamabad United were quick to take a dig at India, who had defeated Pakistan on Saturday in Ahmedabad.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Islamabad United wrote: "Two upsets in two days! #CWC23 is already full of surprises."
The Indians were irked over Islamabad United's post, however, Pakistanis loved the witty behaviour of the franchise.
It must be noted that India carried on to their fantastic form in the ICC World Cup 2023 and recorded a seven-wicket win against Pakistan.
Rohit Sharma showcased his batting skills once again and top-scored for the winning side with 86 off 63 balls. His rapid knock included 12 boundaries.
Other than the 36-year-old, Shreyas Iyer was the second top-scorer for the winning side as he contributed 53 runs.
The dominant batting display by the Indian batters saw the home side reach the 192-run target in the 31st over, with 118 balls to spare, massively improving their net run rate (NRR).
This was India’s record eighth win in as many matches against the arch-rivals in World Cup history.
