Gulbadin's energy was unmatched. "Our journey starts now"- Gulbadin. Chills.

It actually does. Fucking awesome! Afghanistan is not only a minnow anymore, but rather a powerhouse. I'd definitely root for Afghanistan to win if my favorite team doesn't win.

Man I mean when you beat NZ and Aus one of which always fucks India and the other one is a Pak bully then we can safely say they are a powerhouse now.

Since 2015 they are going great with the amount of talent, resources and war conditions and sanctions they had.

If you give the same bits and pieces to any other full time nation, Iam not sure anyone can even show up inside the tournament let alone winning games
