Afghanistan dominated the Netherlands in the World Cup match, winning by seven wickets. They now have eight points and are in contention for a spot in the semi-finals, alongside Australia and New Zealand. India has already secured a place in the last four, with South Africa likely to join them. Afghanistan’s next match is against Australia, with whom they have a tense relationship due to a canceled series earlier this year. In this match, Rahmat Shah scored his third consecutive half-century and Hashmatullah Shahidi remained unbeaten with a half-century as well. Afghanistan restricted the Netherlands to 179 all out, with four run-outs playing a crucial role. Mohammad Nabi was the standout bowler, taking 3-28.
