In a truly unforgettable match at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Afghanistan resoundingly defeated England with a remarkable 69-run victory, firmly planting them back on solid ground.
In a gripping showdown at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, Afghanistan’s spin bowling outfit put up a spirited showing that left England reeling. A standout star, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, engraved his name as a hero for the Afghan team, giving a spellbinding performance in the art of spin bowling. Notably, this victory marks Afghanistan’s second title in the historic history of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
While the stadium screamed with action, a different kind of match was emerging online. Former Indian batting star Wasim Jaffer and England’s skipper, Michael Vaughan, engaged in their regular banter on social media, engaging in direct and funny tweets. Afghanistan’s huge success against the defending champions, England, offered Jaffer a wonderful opportunity to good-naturedly rib Vaughan with a tweet that surely didn’t hold back.
After England suffered their second loss in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India, Wasim Jaffer wasted no time in taking to Twitter. He shared a video on the platform, playfully ribbing the former English skipper, Michael Vaughan. Jaffer reached out to Vaughan, asking for his reaction in a light-hearted manner. Jaffer tweeted, “Hope, you are ok.”
After eight long years, Afghanistan has notched up their second World Cup victory. Their first taste of success came in the 2015 World Cup when they narrowly edged out Scotland by just one wicket. The wait for their second win has been a lengthy one, but it has finally arrived. Their upcoming match is against New Zealand at Chepauk in Chennai, and fans will be eager to see Afghanistan reproduce this performance more frequently in the ongoing mega event.
