West Indies v Afghanistan - ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier Final

Most of this current Afghanistan squad has seen the time rise from obscurity and ignominy to a newly realized world of recognition and success. Yet in the times of the rapid surge, they have remained humble and stuck to their roots of humility. Hardened by the prolonged strife back at home, they stand strong in the tougher times as we saw in the recently concluded ICC World Cup Qualifiers, where after three consecutive loss they regrouped to engineer a winning streak and not only qualified but won the competition.

Skipper Asghar Stanikzai and the level-headed Mohammad Nabi have seen the crests and troughs enough times to not be dizzied by the rush of getting to play test cricket, yet their ambitious instincts will make sure that they make sure the team plays like a unit giving it their all to not just do their best but to win. They will also be mentally spurred by the unflinching support their side receives back from home.
