This victory not only marked a significant milestone for Afghanistan but also established a new record as the first team to win an ODI by 200 runs at this venue.

Noteworthy performances included young pacer Bilal Sami, who took 5 wickets for 33 runs in just 7.1 overs. Alongside him, veteran spinner Rashid Khan contributed significantly with figures of 3 for 12 in six overs. The match underscored Afghanistan’s growing prowess in international cricket.

Their commanding win was achieved despite a competitive ODI landscape, highlighting a consistent improvement in the team’s performance. This victory marks Afghanistan’s largest winning margin of 232 runs overall, previously against Zimbabwe in December 2024.

Fans and cricket enthusiasts are now eagerly anticipating Afghanistan’s future matches, looking to see if they can maintain such extraordinary form on the international stage.
