I know how it feels Vinod!
These double headers are really double trouble.Interestingly I've to keep changing the channel all the time .Missing out on interesting moments of the match

Heart-breaking for Afghanistan!
What a wonderful game. So near yet so far for Afghanistan. Imad Wasim holding his nerves in the end for Pakistan.

That one over from Naib changed everything!
Afghanistan had the game firmly in their hands till the 46th over with Pakistan needing 46 from 5. A tactical blunder by the captain to get himself on along with missing out on a DRS lbw of Imad due to a poor appeal earlier has cost them the match. Well played Imad

Every Pakistani fan's hearts were at risk yesterday!
Dear Pakistan, can you please put a limit on your unpredictability? For your supporters’ sake.😊

Much-needed excitement indeed!
Wow, that was some finish to this game AFG vs PAK. Several tactical errors on both sides. But my heart goes out to Afghanistan. They battled so hard in their last 3 games. Happy though, that Pakistan have kept their hopes alive, & kept the tournament interesting👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

Hopefully, the Afghanistan team comes back stronger in the next World Cup!
Legend says the Afghan is full of heart & grit. Never goes down without a fight. This World Cup has shown us that. Great performances by the team. I hope they get a lot more opportunities at the international stage & evolve as one of the top international teams.

Just when we thought are going to taste victory, it is Imad Wasim who has sealed it for he has definitely become a hero today. What a thriller😍🏏
