Complete Unawareness! Fans React After Afghanistan Miss a Chance to Qualify for Super Four of Asia Cup 2023, Lose Nail-Biting Thriller Again

Sri Lanka qualified for the Asia Cup 2023 Super Four stage marginally after they beat Afghanistan in the final of the group stage by only two runs. Afghanistan had to chase 292 in 37.1 and they brought the equation to 15 runs in 7 deliveries. On the first delivery of the 38th over, they needed 3 runs. Mujeeb ur Rahman was dismissed on that ball and they thought it was all over but in reality it wasn't. They could have still qualified if in the next three deliveries, they could hit a six and win. But none of the Afghan players seemed to know it and they ended up losing the game. Fans, shocked and baffled took to 'X' and reacted on the situation.

What A Pity

What a pity . Afghanistan fought so valiantly but being unaware that in the last 3 balls 6 runs would have seen them through and they chose to block thinkinthey cannot. Reminded of Mark Boucher in 2003 WC.

Support staff need to be more pro active especially in such qualification…

Unbelievable

I cannot believe in this day and age of technology, Afghanistan were unaware that they could still go through after Mujeeb s dismissal! Easy single missed off the 3rd ball. Heartbreaking but congratulations to Srilanka. They hung in there. We have our Top 4 for #AsiaCup2023

They Had No Clue

Afghanistan did a South Africa from 2003 World Cup.

They had no clue about 295/37.4.

100% sure of this.

Had They Been Aware!

Had Afghanistan coaching staff been aware about the need for Mujeeb to take a single, Rashid could have done it #AsiaCup2023

Man Oh Man!

Man oh man! What a game in Lahore. Afghanistan could have taken up to 38.1 overs if they levelled the score (291) and hit a six to take their total to 297 but it seems they were not aware of this fact!
