AFG vs AUS Live Score: Afghanistan stun Australia in a historic 21-run victory
Gulbadin Naib's deadly spell guided Afghanistan to a historic 21-run victory over Australia
In a stunning turn of events, Afghanistan pulled off a remarkable 21-run victory over Australia in the 39th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on November 07, 2023.
Afghanistan's victory was largely due to the brilliance of Gulbadin Naib, who spun a web of deception with his deadly bowling attack. Naib's 3/48 in 10 overs proved too much for the Australian batsmen, who were left reeling at 33 for 3 in the sixth over.
Chasing a modest target of 96, Australia's top order collapsed under the pressure of Naib's immaculate bowling. David Warner (0), Steve Smith (3), and Glenn Maxwell (0) were all dismissed within the first six overs, leaving Australia in a precarious position.
Afghanistan's bowlers continued to dominate the Australian batsmen, with Rashid Khan (2/26 in 10 overs) and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (2/17 in 4 overs) providing excellent support to Naib.
Afghanistan's victory is a historic moment for the nation and a testament to the team's determination and fighting spirit. It is also a reminder that in cricket, anything is possible.
